Rocket Recordings

Rocket Recordings is a UK based independent record label that has been running successfully under the guidance of Chris Reeder and John O'Carroll. With their combined expertise and passion for music, they have curated an impressive roster of artists spanning various genres. Known for their commitment to quality and innovation, Rocket Recordings continues to push boundaries in the music industry.

Since its inception, Rocket Recordings has been dedicated to supporting emerging talent and providing a platform for unique voices in the music scene. Their diverse catalogue showcases a wide range of musical styles, from psychedelic rock to experimental electronic sounds.

With a reputation for discovering groundbreaking artists before they hit the mainstream, Rocket Recordings has become synonymous with cutting-edge music. Whether you're a seasoned collector or just starting your journey into independent music, this label offers an unparalleled selection of releases that are sure to captivate and inspire.

Kuro take their name from the Japanese word for ‘black’, and their debut release for Rocket Recordings marks an experimental union between two diversely storied yet inherently like-minded musicians. Agathe Max, who hails originally from Lyon, is a classically-trained violinist with a varied back catalogue of studio and live work - running the gamut from spectral ambience to stately soundscapes and adept at summoning dreamstates and drama alike, her emotive and engaging work has found admirers at a number of UK festivals such as Supersonic and Raw Power. 

The Bristol-based Gareth Turner, meanwhile, maintains a busy schedule performing and recording with Rocket Recordings trio Anthroprophh (alongside The Heads guitarist Paul Allen) bass/drums duo Big Naturals, and his solo double-bass project Salope, as well as working as a touring tech for Melvins on their trips to Europe. Yet despite both of these artists’ multi-faceted artistic lives, their partnership was both a natural progression and reflective of an intuitive chemistry. The result of their initial spark is perhaps both artists’ most coherent and captivating work to date.
