Jagjaguwar is an American independent label based in Bloomington, IN. Founded in Charlottesville, VA in 1996 by Darius Van Arman, the label was invited to relocate to Bloomington by Jason Noble of Rodan. Darius followed this invitation in 1999 and has since built a reputation for releasing exceptional music.
With a focus on promoting talented artists across various genres, Jagjaguwar has become known for its diverse roster and commitment to supporting independent music. The label's catalog includes releases from acclaimed acts such as Bon Iver, Angel Olsen, Sharon Van Etten, and Unknown Mortal Orchestra.
As a trusted name in the industry, Jagjaguwar continues to champion innovative and boundary-pushing music. With their dedication to quality and artistic integrity, they have established themselves as a go-to destination for music lovers seeking unique sounds and fresh perspectives.

Small Black is an American indie electronic band formed in Brooklyn, New York. Known for their dreamy and atmospheric sound, they have been creating music since 2009. With influences ranging from shoegaze to synth-pop, Small Black has developed a unique style that captivates listeners.
The band consists of Josh Kolenik on vocals and keyboards, Ryan Heyner on guitar and keyboards, Juan Pieczanski on bass guitar and drums, and Jeff Curtin on drums. Their debut album "New Chain" was released in 2010 to critical acclaim.
Since then, Small Black has continued to release albums and EPs that showcase their evolving sound. Their music often explores themes of nostalgia, love, and the passage of time. With their catchy melodies and introspective lyrics, Small Black has gained a dedicated fan base around the world.

'Limits of Desire' is Small Black's most accomplished album yet. It's a crystalline realization of a sound they've been building toward since their self-titled EP in 2009. Where 2010's 'New Chain' was a lesson in maximalist pop, 'Limits of Desire' finds the band trimming their sound to the essentials, yet hitting new and unexpected heights with the addition of live drums, electric guitar and trumpet to the existing Small Black palette. Tonally the songs sweep and glide over lush keys, bolstered by lyrics that illustrate the semi-abstract moments of lost opportunities and misread signs, hinted at by the cover image.
