Wilco start their own label (from Pitchfork):
Back in July of last year, Wilco guitarist Nels Cline revealed that the band had left Nonesuch Records and was starting their own label. Today, the band made good on that revelation and announced their new label, dBpm Records.
According to a press release, dBpm Records will put out all future Wilco releases “and more,” and will be run by the band’s manager, Tony Margherita, out of offices in Easthampton, Massachusetts. ANTI- Records will distribute the label, as well as other services. The band are currently working on their next album at their Chicago studio, the Loft.
“This is an idea we’ve discussed for years,” bandleader Jeff Tweedy said in a statement. “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 has its roots in a label that was started by a punk rock guy to sell his own records seems like a perfect fit for us.”
