Downtown Ferndale · Detroit
Found Sound
New and used records and CDs on West Nine Mile in downtown Ferndale.
Why it is worth visiting
Found Sound gives a Ferndale shopping day a proper record-store anchor. The West Nine Mile shop grew out of staff experience at Record Time and carries new and used music rather than committing the whole floor to a single scene. It is a sensible place to compare a new pressing with whatever has arrived secondhand, with CDs also represented. Ferndale deserves its own name in the route: this is north of Detroit, in a different downtown. Build some browsing time around that location instead of adding it to a hurried circuit of central-city shops.
What you will find
New and used vinyl and CDs, with current releases, catalogue records and local music. The store’s social feed is the place to check release-day notices and shop updates.
Genre strengths: Rock, Local
Getting there
234 West Nine Mile Road in downtown Ferndale, west of Woodward. UHF in Royal Oak and Street Corner in Oak Park require separate travel legs from here.
Local tips
Make Ferndale the neighbourhood stop and choose any next shop by the records you want, not by its place on a metro-wide list. Royal Oak, Oak Park and Berkley are different destinations.
Keep the music going
More music. More stories. A longer tour.
Field Notes
What Was Your First CD?
People forget plenty of purchases. Their first CD apparently isn’t one of them.
