Not just news posts anymore


We see this space as an opportunity to give a platform for our roster—but moreso, the individual people that comprise our roster—to speak on anything that's important to them, or to simply share anecdotes about their music. Our hope is that this will expand into a curated, open-ended hub for not just news and updates, but also recommendations, behind-the-scenes, "premieres" & exclusives, random musings, calls to action, and as a means for us to riff on what we think is important. Our logo is a speech bubble, after all.

Every post we've ever made going back to 2006 has been meticulously tagged and archived here for you. Use the 'by artist' dropdown or the filters to show posts that're more specific to what you're looking for, or just scroll down to peruse things chronologically. Thanks for reading!

"Low Light Assembly" by The World Is A Beautiful Place & I Am No Longer Afraid to Die

This video took forever to come together. It's the culmination of a few ideas the band and us had bounced back and forth along with input from our friend Alex Henery (who directed and produced it). It felt like it took all summer to come together — but when it did the results were exactly what we wanted. read more →
