Nude

Nude Records, founded by Scotsman Saul Galpern in 1991, is a renowned music label based in northwest London. With the successful launch of Suede's debut album in 1993, Nude Records quickly gained recognition and went on to sign talented artists such as Sharkboy, Goya Dress, Geneva, and Billy MacKenzie. Despite facing challenges that led to voluntary liquidation near its 10th anniversary, the label's legacy continued through Sony Music and One Little Indian. In 2016, Nude Records was re-launched and remains an active force in the music industry.

Throughout its history, Nude Records has been instrumental in discovering and nurturing exceptional talent. The label's early success with Suede paved the way for other notable signings who have left their mark on the industry. Artists like *Ultrasound*, *Mainstream*, and *Black Box Recorder* have contributed to the diverse roster of Nude Records.

While faced with difficulties along the way, including changes in ownership and restructuring, Nude Records has proven its resilience by adapting to new circumstances. The label continues to support emerging artists while also celebrating its rich history with iconic acts like Suede. As it enters a new era of creativity and innovation under its re-launch in 2016, Nude Records remains committed to delivering outstanding music experiences for fans worldwide.

Stein formed Howling Bells with her brother, Joel, and friends when they moved to London together in 2004. Four acclaimed albums followed, along with headline tours and festival shows around the world, and huge support dates including several US tours with Coldplay and The Killers. A break from Howling Bells around the arrival of her first child saw the first shoots of her solo work start to emerge, and now we find ourselves here. America, an unpredictable place, forever bound up in a uniquely widescreen hope and romance. An evocative and beautiful record (produced by Gus Seyffert (Beck, Ryan Adams) in L.A.), Stein’s honeyed voice weaves stories of heartbreak and optimism, from the unmistakably Western-influenced Dark Horse, to the moody love song, Cry. Florence is inspired by a real-life photograph by Dorothea Langue, taken during the Great Depression, of the eponymous Florence Owens Thompson, a tale of a struggle for themselves and their children that’s as relevant to women of the world today as it ever was. The songs on the LP tell tales of characters real and imagined, Stein’s own experiences woven amongst them. Says Stein of the album: "This record is an ode to the dark heart of America. Of times gone and times to come. Dusty trails, a whimsical 50s suburbia and the haze of the 1960s. I've forever idealised American life - growing up in Australia we were fed the American dream through film and television. The dichotomy between what was real and a dream is forever intriguing to me. The music of Roy Orbison, Dusty Springfield, Lee and Nancy and Patsy Cline all informed my musical sensibilities. They opened up this wide screen universe for me.”
