Kranky

Kranky is an American record label based in Chicago, Illinois. Established in 1993 by Bruce Adams and Joel Leoschke, Kranky has been a prominent force in the music industry since its inception. With a focus on the alternative and experimental genres, Kranky has released numerous groundbreaking albums over the years.

Known for their unique sound and innovative approach to music production, *Kranky* has become synonymous with quality and creativity. The label's publishing credits typically go to Kranky, Ltd., further solidifying their reputation as a trusted name in the industry.

With a catalog spanning from the 1990s to the 2000s, *Kranky* has consistently showcased talented artists who push boundaries and challenge conventions. Their commitment to supporting independent musicians sets them apart from other labels, making them a go-to destination for fans of cutting-edge music.

The culmination of four years writing and editing, Anjou marks the ﬁrst collaboration between Labradfordʼs Robert Donne and Mark Nelson since the release of that groupʼs 'ﬁxed:context' LP. Combining modular synthesis, Max / MSP programming and live instrumentation, Anjou deftly weaves noise with gentle ambience and melody with texture. Guitar, bass and Steven Hessʼ (Locrian, Fennesz, Pan American) live percussion give the eight pieces an immediacy and create a framework for the more abstract sounds of digital and analog synth programming. The product of twenty plus years of friendship, Anjou is reﬁned and challenging. An extension of the Labradford sound-world but no mere victory lap, Anjou represents Donne and Nelson stepping out and forward, their eyes ﬁrmly focusing on the future.
