Whether performing as a solo artist or collaborating with other talented musicians, *Omori* consistently delivers performances that are both mesmerizing and unforgettable.

Short for "Subterranean Pop" 

The label was an outgrowth of [a=Bruce Pavitt]'s Olympia, WA based (print) fanzine, which became the well respected cassettezine of the same name. 

After his move to Seattle he ran a music column in the Seattle Rocket also called Sub Pop.

After initial forays into the record label world with a [a=Green River] 7" (not officially on Sub Pop) and the Sub Pop 100 LP, the label exploded onto the indie scene with four influential colored vinyl 7"s which included [a=Mudhoney]'s "Touch Me I'm Sick" which made the year-end top 10 playlist of nearly every music journalist in the world.

Subsequent hyping of the label in the English music press put them on the map, and grunge was born.

Label-Code is 03159; rarely found printed on releases (basically only on releases manufactured/licensed by Warner/WEA Germany)

Rough Trade Exclusive Bonus CD called 'Cullen's Rough Trade Playlist' featuring 15 tracks that influenced Cullen. Cullen Omori from the Smith Westerns returns with a delicious radio friendly pop album on Sub Pop. 'New Misery' was recorded by Shane Stoneback (Sleigh Bells, Vampire Weekend, Fucked Up). Omori began writing these songs early last year, and in a statement, he said he wrote the music following long shifts listening to Top 40 radio at his medical supply company day job. 'New Misery' is a collection of 11 songs building upon his own musical past while reaching towards the future of what guitar rock could be. His songs marry dark yet blissful pop with vocal melodies and hooks that are at once immediate yet demand to be heard again and again. Think a mix of MGMT, The Bee Gees, Spiritualized and Avi Buffalo.
