Walk into Torn Light Records, on Milwaukee Avenue, Chicago’s hipster corridor, and you may feel like you have stepped back in time. Jazz wafts through the speakers. On prominent display is a copy of “Remain in Light”, a cult album released by Talking Heads in 1980. Yet the shop opened last year, having relocated from Cincinnati. It is one of half a dozen record stores on the street, but competition is not a problem: sales have been brisk. “Having people being really interested in physical media again has been great,” says Daniel Buckley, the co-owner.
