The label operates a US division, located in Brooklyn, which output was initially identified by its own catalogue number schemes, DOMUS then DNO (used until 2013), when the releases handled by the UK headquarters are identified by WIG (albums) and RUG (singles and EPs) catalogue numbers.

The company operating the label, *Warp Records*, diversified, establishing a publishing arm and a series of labels (*Double Six Recordings*, *Weird World Record Co.*, *Rephlex*, ...).

Rough Trade Albums of the Month - March 2019

Gentle fluttering sounds cascade through the speakers spilling notes from guitars and strings while tremulous vocals croon and sweep.

James Yorkston’s latest album is produced by James himself alongside David (FKA Twigs / Caribou / Frank Ocean) Wrench. It was recorded in a loft in Cellardyke on instruments collected by James including dulcitones, harominiums, autoharps and (of course) a nyckelharpa.

Muted dreamy brass swims like a woozy half-awake hangover. Buzzing drone guitars trickle and play with a celtic flick while sweet close harmonies settle like a Scotch mist across bagpipes, slithering, stinging strings and sombre woodwind.
