MERGE RECORDS
With the release of the new and outstanding Arcade Fire record “Suburbs” (click to buy) I thought it was fitting to shine a little light on their label Merge Records. Based in Durham, NC this crew has put the work in and are only getting better with time. Another great video from storyteller David Huppert that takes you from the beginning to where they are today.
From Merge’s website:
“Merge Records defies everything you’ve heard about the music business. Started by two twenty-year-old musicians, Merge is a lesson in how to make and market great music on a human scale. The fact that the company is prospering in a failing industry is something of a miracle.”
I mean seriously, take a look at this roster and tell me that Merge is not killing it right now?
