Kranky

Kranky is an American record label based in Chicago, Illinois. Established in 1993 by Bruce Adams and Joel Leoschke, Kranky has been a prominent force in the music industry since its inception. With a focus on the alternative and experimental genres, Kranky has released numerous groundbreaking albums over the years.

Known for their unique sound and innovative approach to music production, *Kranky* has become synonymous with quality and creativity. The label's publishing credits typically go to Kranky, Ltd., further solidifying their reputation as a trusted name in the industry.

With a catalog spanning from the 1990s to the 2000s, *Kranky* has consistently showcased talented artists who push boundaries and challenge conventions. Their commitment to supporting independent musicians sets them apart from other labels, making them a go-to destination for fans of cutting-edge music.

The full-length debut by Julie Carpenter’s Joshua Tree, California ambient orchestral project Less Bells emerged from the drama and desolation of its high desert origins. She cites certain compositions as being “specifically inspired by August monsoons rolling in over the mountains, others by clear, starry nights.” Utilizing an array of electronic and acoustic instruments, including cello, Optigan, violin, voice, and modular synth, Solifuge conflates not only the solitude and refuge of its title but also intimacy and grandeur, fragility and force, “building from austerity to wild overgrowth.” She speaks of a creative process involving cut-ups and rearranging, mapping a melody for strings only to transpose it to synth, or refashioning a rigid classical piece as stream of consciousness soundscape. Carpenter’s versatility and embrace of flux fills these songs with a living, breathing quality, restrained but responsive, adapting to shifting conditions and emotions beneath the surface.
