“It looks great in a home audio setup”
Why it exists
Streaming gave us access to everything but made our music collections invisible. The albums are still there (saved, followed, loved) but buried inside an app. No shelves to browse. No covers on the wall. No ritual.
Spine is a wall-mounted album art display that brings your collection back. It connects to your streaming library and renders your albums as browsable CD spines, the covers you know by heart, always visible, always yours. A permanent home for the music you actually listen to.
Here’s how it works
Which service do you use?
- 01
Connect
Download the Spine Music app and sign in with Apple Music. Your library populates the shelf automatically.
02Curate
From your phone, choose what goes on the shelf and arrange it by artist, decade, or manually however you like. Your library, edited down to what you actually love.
- 03
Browse
Walk up and scroll through your collection. Album art, wall-mounted, at a glance. It’s a different way of being in your music.
- 04
Play
Tap an album and it starts playing automatically, through your phone, on whatever you already listen on. Speakers, HomePod, headphones.
Works with your music
Spine Music runs on iPhone and Android. Apple Music and Tidal connect directly. Spotify works with a one-time library import.

Made to live on a wall
A carefully crafted bar with a 28 inch display made to look good on any wall.
- Reads like art, not a screen.
- The front is matte etched glass that cuts glare and reflection, so album covers read like print in any light. A built-in ambient light sensor adjusts brightness on its own as the room changes through the day.
- One cable, nothing to manage.
- A single cable powers the whole thing. No hub, no extra wiring, no clutter behind it.
- On the wall in minutes.
- It mounts with a hidden bracket and sits beautifully on the wall.
- Built to feel like beautiful furniture.
- An aluminium body formed from a single sheet, anodised dark, with real weight and a finish that holds up close. 76cm wide, 19cm tall, and slim enough to sit neatly on any wall.
Questions
How much does it cost?
£849 on Kickstarter, and £949 once the campaign closes. Reserving before launch with a refundable £25 makes you a founding member, and that gets you exclusive access to a limited £799 tier with guaranteed delivery in the first batch. Places go first come first served on launch day, so we tell you the moment the campaign opens. Your £25 is refundable until the Kickstarter campaign launches, and sent back to you when you buy Spine. And you can spread the cost over three interest-free monthly payments.
Can I pay in instalments?
Yes. Kickstarter lets you split the cost into three monthly payments, interest free and with no fees. You choose it when you back the campaign.
How does Tap to Play work?
Tap any album on the shelf and it starts playing, through your phone, on whatever you already listen on. On Apple Music it auto-plays the moment you tap; on Tidal and Spotify you confirm playback on your phone, then the sound comes out of your speakers, HomePod or headphones.
Does it play the music itself?
No. Spine is a display, not a speaker. It shows your collection and hands playback to your phone and the speakers you already own, so the sound is always exactly the setup you’ve chosen.
Does it work with Sonos?
Yes. Spine works with your Sonos through the streaming service on your phone, which is what triggers playback. Spine’s a display, so you’ll need a streaming service connected for the music to play.
Can Spine play to a speaker group or more than one room?
Spine plays to wherever your music is set to play. Grouping rooms or picking a default speaker happens where you already manage your speakers: the Sonos app, Google Home, Apple Home or Alexa.
Does it need an app to work?
You set Spine up once from the Spine Music app: connect your library, choose what goes on the shelf, arrange it. After that the shelf runs on its own on the wall. The app is simply where you curate and make changes.
I’m on Spotify. Does it work?
Yes. Spotify doesn’t let hardware connect to your library directly, so you bring it across once with a one-time import. From there your collection lives in the app: add, remove and arrange however you like, and the shelf updates.
Does it work with Deezer or Qobuz?
Deezer and Qobuz won’t be integrated at launch. Spine connects to Apple Music, Tidal and Spotify today. They’re on our list to look into afterwards. Join the list and we’ll let you know when they might land.
Does it work with Amazon Music or YouTube Music?
Not at launch. Spine connects to Apple Music, Tidal and Spotify today. Amazon Music’s library isn’t open to apps yet, and YouTube Music has no official way in, so neither has a dependable path right now. If and when that changes, we’ll look into adding them.
Does it work with my own downloaded music?
Today Spine works with your streaming library. Support for personal libraries, local files, Roon, Plex, is something we’re actively looking into, though not confirmed for launch. Join the list and we’ll let you know if and when it lands.
Does it need to be plugged in?
Yes. A single cable, hidden behind the mount. No batteries to charge, no wires on show. It’s designed to disappear into the wall.
