Sub Pop
Founded by Bruce Pavitt and Jonathan Poneman in 1988, Sub Pop Records is a medium-sized independent record label based in Seattle, WA. With early releases by Nirvana, Mudhoney, Soundgarden, and TAD, the label is often associated with something called "the grunge movement." Exploitation of this association has frequently proven financially fruitful. Later years saw record album releases from such moderately-to-somewhat-well-known artists as: Sebadoh, Sunny Day Real Estate, The Murder City Devils, Hot Hot Heat, The Shins, Iron and Wine, The Postal Service, Band of Horses, David Cross, Flight of the Conchords, Fleet Foxes, Beach House, Shabazz Palaces, and Father John Misty, among many other very talented and deserving artists whose managers will be contacting us shortly about inclusion in the preceding list.

THE BEST NEWS: We have teamed up with long-running Canadian punk icons @fuckedup for a 7” single featuring TWO brand new, exclusive songs!
“Disabuse,” out now on all streams, is a song Damian, the band’s singer, wrote for his daughter, who experienced bullying and intimidation. The B-side, “Self Driving Man,” wrestles the out-of-control automation of our world onto the pavement and into the abyss of faceless progress.
Fans ordering directly from Sub Pop and the band can choose between the standard jacket or the limited alternate sleeve based on Poison Idea’s classic 1990 Sub Pop Singles Club 7”. Or they can - and should - order both!

Preorder the #LoserEdition of Bria Salmena's debut solo album, 'Big Dog,' out 3/28: music.subpop.com/briasalmena_bigdog!
Big Dog's sound hovers between worlds, it takes elements of hypnotic krautrock and shimmery shoegaze, opulent goth and pulsing darkwave, with a smearing of electronic textures for a sophisticated and often uncanny sound. Amidst this vast sonic landscape, Salmena’s potent lyrical imagery and vocals stand dead center, perfectly in focus.
Directly from @briasalmena herself:
"STRETCH THE STRUGGLE” out now!
My debut record BIG DOG out March 28th.
BIG DOG TOUR tickets on sale this Friday.
It feels odd to share this amidst the destruction and everything so newly raw around me. I have a list of resources available to help those affected by the fires in LA.
💘 #bigdog

New year, new Deep Sea Diver!
The Seattle outfit will release their fourth album, Billboard Heart, on Feb. 28 worldwide from Sub Pop. Jessica Dobson punches through her past here. As she howls during Billboard Heart’s rapturous title track, she is "welcoming the future by letting go of it.”
It is a coup, a triumph over self-doubt in which what first felt like failure became an opportunity to find new freedom, belief, and strength. You can hear it in each of these eleven songs, the beating heart that makes everything here feel like a new anthem for finding your own way forward.

Damon McMahon releases his new remix album, 'Death Jokes II,' today, the final work of the acclaimed Amen Dunes (@AmenDunes) project.
“This is the last chapter of the final volume. Goodbye, I’ve barely said a word to you, but it’s always like that at parties - we never really see each other, we never say the things we should like to; in fact it’s the same everywhere in this life. Let’s hope that when we are dead, things will be better arranged.”
'Death Jokes II' is a celebration of endings and of deaths, marking the end of Amen Dunes, itself. Listen now wherever you stream, and learn more here: music.subpop.com/amendunes_deathjokesii.

In case you missed the freaking big news--we are reissuing SEVEN titles – five on LP and digital and two digital-only – by Denver punk legends The Fluid. Grab them all today at yr local indie record store or at the Sub Pop Mega Mart.
These releases include the band’s entire Sub Pop output from 1988-1991, choice outtakes and rarities, and their debut album, 'Punch N Judy,' originally released by RayOn Records in 1986. None of this material has been available on digital music services before, and the vinyl versions have been out of print for decades! It sounds better than ever, thanks to extensive mixing and remastering work by the band and Jack Endino (Nirvana, Soundgarden, High on Fire, Mudhoney). Enjoy and watch the official video for « Black Glove » found on their album, 'Glue.'
Which albums are you scooping up today? music.subpop.com/thefluid

Watch the fully restored and remastered live performance of The Gits' (@thegitsofficial) "Wingo Lamo," filmed live at Seattle's RKCNDY. The live visual features original film footage courtesy of DC9 and Douglas Pray from his 1993 documentary, Hype!
Guitarist Andy Kessler offers this: “‘Wingo…’ was always one of my favorites to play live. And then there’s the thing about how I’d misheard Mia’s lyrics to the chorus as, ‘Just like my father told me…’ The actual line is, ‘Immobilized by the torment…’ But I truly wondered what it was her father told her. And to this day I still do. I always loved it when she changed the chorus and gave me a look and a laugh.”
