Asylum

Asylum is a US label that was formed in 1971 by David Geffen and Eliot Roberts. Initially specializing in mainstream rock and singer/songwriters, the label signed notable artists such as Judee Sill, David Blue, Jackson Browne, and Jo Jo Gunne. In 1974, Asylum scored a major coup by signing Bob Dylan during his brief estrangement from Columbia Records. Throughout the 1970s, the label released albums by influential artists like Tom Waits, Joni Mitchell, Warren Zevon, as well as former members of Eagles, Byrds, and Buffalo Springfield.

From 1971 to 1973, Asylum was distributed by Atlantic Records. However, in August 1973, Warner Communications combined Elektra and Asylum Records to form Elektra/Asylum Records. Geffen left the label in 1980 to establish Geffen Records. Although the Asylum name was retired from new releases in 1989, it made occasional appearances for country releases in 1992.

In 2004, after Warner Music's acquisition by private investors led by Edgar Bronfman Jr., Asylum was reactivated as a southern-oriented hip-hop label. It also became the distributor for Rap-A-Lot Records and Swisha House Records. Despite being considered an independent label within Warner Music structure today; its numbering system and UPC prefix align with Elektra Records.

Worldwide superstar Ed Sheeran releases his hugely anticipated new album ÷ (pronounced divide), through Asylum / Atlantic Records. ÷ - Ed’s third studio album – is on course to become one of the most significant global album releases of 2017 and sees the 25-year-old Suffolk native in his finest form yet. The genre-defying LP is the result of an artist who consistently pushes himself in new directions, uncovering fresh musical ground using a seemingly limitless musical vocabulary. Drawing inspiration from a host of personal experiences and subjects, Ed takes you through a hugely personal journey; be that reflecting on past relationships, family memories, his musical career or his time off travelling the world in 2016. Musically ÷ is an array of beautifully orchestrated and emotive ballads, impassioned raps laid over hip hop beats, timeless acoustic guitar masterpieces and innovative, idiosyncratic pop music. Ed’s record-breaking dual comeback singles perfectly highlight one of the distinct divides in his musical spectrum with Castle On The Hill (an ode to his hometown of Framlingham, Suffolk) positioning itself towards a stadium-ready, rockier sound and Shape Of You dismantling and rebuilding modern-pop using little more than a loop pedal. ÷ will reveal everything in-between whilst showcasing Ed’s impeccable guitar playing, peerless lyricism, boundless musical palate and jarringly-honest, and often autobiographical, storytelling – some of the reasons this much-loved talent has built an undeniably loyal following across the globe. Executively produced by Benny Blanco (Rihanna, The Weeknd) and Ed himself with further production coming from Johnny McDaid, Mike Elizondo and Steve Mac, the album was recorded between LA, London, Suffolk and RMS Queen Mary 2. Hugely representative of modern times, both sonically and topically, ÷ reaffirms Ed as one of the world’s most forward-thinking and versatile troubadours. Furthermore, Ed created the album artwork concept, even painting the cover himself!
