Wilco starts own label, distribution through Anti- Records


Recommended Posts

Chicago's rock 'n' roll shape-shifters Wilco have formed their own label, dBpm Records, whose releases will be distributed and marketed by eclectic Silver Lake independent Anti- Records. A full announcement is expected soon.

 

"This is an idea we've discussed for years,” Wilco's Jeff Tweedy said via his publicist. “We really like doing things ourselves, so having our own label feels pretty natural to me. And, to be working with Anti- -- a label that was started by a punk rock guy to sell his own records -- seems like a perfect fit for us.”

dBpm... decibels per minute. It says "loud!" It a friggin ROCK label name! I think I like it.

 

dBpm was the working titile for A Ghost Is Born, John Stirrat even painted a cover for it, you can find it in The Wilco Book.

 

Seing as how A Ghost Is Born is Wilco's most art rock avant rock record or as i would refer to it their best record I am now slightly intrigued at the possible sound of the new record.Seems like Wilco may be upon a new age? a new evolution? The Nonesuch years pair down to this, YHF illi-NoisePoPAmericuna record AGISB aVANT rOCKamurika record SBS ROCKAMERICA record WTA PoPAMERICA record .

 

m I write?

From my memory dBpm was a record they recorded at Jeff's cottage over a few days when the six piece band first got together, I believe that session was where this press photo was taken as well.

maybe you read that somewhere but it was first used as a title for AGIB and John painted an album cover, thats a fact.
