2017 White Label Series

White Label LP/12" series curated by various artists associated with the Joyful Noise Recordings label. Curators Devendra Banhart Lou Barlow Rob Crow Kelley Deal Toshi Kasai Tim Kinsella Doug Martsch Mirah Greg Saunier Chris Schlarb Janet Weiss Yoni Wolf NR's "White Label Series" has a simple purpose: to save great music from obscurity. In our content-saturated world, it is very easy for meaningful music to be overlooked... And therefore never to be properly released, and doomed to the remote regions of the internet. To combat that trend, we have asked twelve influential artists to curate our 2017 White Label Series and help shine a spotlight on their favorite undiscovered or under-appreciated bands. This is the best music you've never heard of... Each month features a new full length* album, hand-picked by one of our curators. "White Label" releases are limited to 500 hand-numbered copies (pressed on black vinyl, with plain white labels), packaged in our series letterpress-printed jackets, with an insert including a statement from the month's curator. All albums include a digital download in WAV and MP3.
