From *experimental* to *electronic*, *ambient* to *indie pop*, the label's catalog offers a wide range of genres that cater to different musical tastes.

"Ema by the Sea" is Joseph Carvell's debut album under his Pink Shabab moniker. It is the first and long overdue solo record by one of the most trusted bassists in the world of adventurous pop and rock music. When he is not playing with Marker Starling, the former Batsch member can be heard on upright and double bass on a slew of Baby Dee albums like her 2012 collaboration LP with Little Annie or Laetitia Sadier's "Find Me Finding You" amongst others. When Carvell is not busy as an active member of the cumbia band Malphino and the Moondog tribute I'm This I'm That or playing improvised jazz with various friends, he writes Pink Shabab songs at night. With "Ema by the Sea," he presents his idiosyncratic approach to subtle disco music for the first time. These nine songs sound as heartbroken as they are uplifting.
