MISSISSIPPI RECORDS: ‘83 til Infinity

Mississippi Records is an independent archival record label that has been releasing music by totally original (and as a result, often overlooked) artists for nearly 20 years. The label is dedicated to working directly with artists and their families, securing their legal rights, and creating equitable documents of their work to share with the world. Mississippi works across genres, regions, and timelines. The music we’re drawn to is often created outside of existing commercial industries. It’s the work of visionary artists with something urgent and original to say. And it’s sustained by, and in turn nourishes, communities that extend beyond the music. We recognize this brilliant music is not created in a vacuum, and we’re dedicated to understanding and uplifting the stories around the art.

THE TRILOGY TAPES

Clandestine record label, The Trilogy Tapes, tear up the NTS studios once a month, ripping through the grittiest and muddiest tracks. No words on this one, just tunes.

Noise Rock Psychedelic Rock Noise

With a name entertainingly antithetical to their sound and ethos, Boredoms took the "plug in and make some noise" rubric of rock music to its utterly baffling logical endpoint, and beyond. Coming to prominence in the late '80s as part of the loosely affiliated "Japanoise" scene of earsplitting hardcore punk acts, sound artists and electronic musicians, the Osaka band have since dipped their toes into disjointed drone, gauzy & cacophonous psychedelia, repetitive minimalist electronics, tribal drumming and other sounds yet to be named.

Wade into the ecstatic and baffling universe of Boredoms in this In Foucus, selected by NTS.
