Download Our Noise: The Story of Merge Records, the Indie Label That Got Big and Stayed Small AudioBook Free
For two decades, Merge Records has remained true with their perception that you can sign bands because you love their music and respect what they're aiming to do. As gigantic corporate labels struggle for success, Merge has, in the unlikeliest of that time period, garnered a devoted group of artists and a secure and growing fan base and, most important, has taken us some of the best music of our own time. Merge Records defies everything you' ve found out about the music business and the actual fact that the business is prospering in a faltering industry is something of a wonder.
In celebration with their twentieth anniversary, Our Noise tells the storyline of how Merge achieved it and is constantly on the take action, through the eyes of cofounders Macintosh McCaughan and Laura Ballance, their fellow music group customers, friends, and the bands who authorized on with them. It includes interviews with and profiles of Superchunk, Butterglory, Natural Dairy Hotel, Lambchop, Spoon, the Magnetic Areas, and the Arcade Fireplace.
