Label GB

Rough Trade

Rough Trade is a multinational label that was started by Geoff Travis in 1976 as a London record-shop. It quickly grew into an independent label and distributor, collaborating with notable labels such as 4AD, Factory Records, and One Little Indian. The label's catalogue numbering system for singles/EPs included prefixes like RT### and RTT###CD for different formats. Albums were numbered sequentially as ROUGH### with extensions for different formats.In the early 1990s, Rough Trade faced financial difficulties after expanding into the US market. The US branch was shut down and the German branch ended up in the Zomba Music Group. One Little Indian provided financing and took over the label in the UK, retaining ownership of key releases like A.R. Kane albums. Geoff Travis eventually regained control of Rough Trade around 1999–2000 and re-launched it alongside Tugboat Records.

<p>Sun Kil Moon was formed in 2002 by former Red House Painters frontman Mark Kozelek. With a unique blend of indie rock and folk influences, Sun Kil Moon has become known for their introspective lyrics and haunting melodies. Kozelek's distinctive voice and storytelling ability have garnered critical acclaim, making Sun Kil Moon a must-listen for fans of thoughtful and emotive music.</p>

Back In Stock

Sun Kil Moon aka Mark Kozeleck returns with the follow up to the honest, tragic and perfect album 'Benji'. 'Universal Themes' is once again epic and full of strange meditations on death, work and hard work. The standout tracks include 'The Possum', a nine minute track featuring Sonic Youth drummer Steve Shelley about dead possums and hanging out with Godflesh. Mot of the tracks are based on grinding riffs while, within their walls, Kozeleck experiments with collage, multi tracked vocals and disorientating shifts in moods. in short, it's another masterpiece from a man that can do no wrong at the moment.
