One Little Independent Records

One Little Independent Records, or OLI Records, is an independent music label that was founded in 1986 by members of anarchist punk band Crass. Inspired by the DIY principles and anarchistic ideals of independent labels, OLI has always believed in giving complete control to artists who deserve a shot at a wider audience. On June 10th, 2020, OLI underwent a rename and rebranding after its founder announced an apology for the label's historic name and logo, recognizing their contribution to racism.

Since its inception, OLI Records has been dedicated to providing a platform for talented artists from various genres. The label believes in supporting musicians who create unique and innovative music that deserves recognition. With a commitment to artistic freedom and expression, OLI continues to nurture emerging talent while also collaborating with established acts.

As one of the leading independent labels in the industry, OLI Records strives to promote diversity and inclusivity within the music community. By embracing change and acknowledging past mistakes, they are committed to creating an environment where all artists can thrive without fear of discrimination or prejudice. With their extensive catalog of groundbreaking releases and forward-thinking approach, OLI remains at the forefront of shaping the future of independent music.

Poppy Ackroyd is a composer and performer from London, currently based in Edinburgh. Born in 1982, she is classically-trained on piano and violin. Ackroyd's unique musical style involves manipulating and multi-tracking sounds from these two instruments to create captivating compositions.

Her music has drawn comparisons to artists such as Brambles, Federico Albanese, Sylvain Chauveau, Hauschka, Bruno Sanfilippo, Angus MacRae, Stefano Guzzetti, Niklas Paschburg, Ed Carlsen, Sophie Hutchings, Peter Broderick, Sebastian Plano, Elskavon,
Rachel Grimes,Louisa Fuller,Hior Chronik,
Library Tapes ,Julia Kent ,Slow Meadow ,and Alex Kozobolis.

Ackroyd's talent for blending classical elements with innovative techniques sets her apart in the music industry. With her mesmerizing compositions and skillful manipulation of soundscapes, Poppy Ackroyd continues to captivate audiences worldwide.

A classically trained pianist, violinist, producer, and composer, Ackroyd turned heads in the neo-classical world with her previous works Escapement and Feathers, as well as her involvement in Hidden Orchestra (Tru Thoughts). Having played alongside giants of the genre, Hauschka and Nils Frahm, the unique musician has returned, fresh off the back of a mini-album Sketches, and set to release her brand new self-produced full-length record - her most ambitious and progressive piece of work to date. Ackroyd plays a combination of both upright and grand piano, and even plays the inside of the instrument using fingers, drumsticks and plectrums – and then arranges and multi-tracks the resulting sounds. The artist employed the same technique to record herself playing violin, pianino, harmonium and spinet, as well as record other musicians who played cello, flute, clarinet, bass clarinet and hang. Although a keen collaborator outside of her solo work – having created soundtracks for film, dance, physical theatre and radio – this is the first record for which Poppy has written for and employed other players, including Manu Delago (Bjork, Cinematic Orchestra, Anoushka Shankar) playing hang, Mike Lesirge (Bonobo, Andreya Triana) playing clarinets and flute, and Jo Quail on cello. Through studying contemporary classical piano works and listening to electronic music, Ackroyd quickly developed her signature compositional style on previous albums, using contemporary pianistic ideas whilst also inhabiting the world of sound beyond the keyboard, using extended techniques to 'play' other parts of the instruments as well. The intelligent artist works by recording improvised contemporary classical piano motifs and then rearranging and manipulating these sounds digitally. The result is a fantastic fusion of acoustic and electronic in a post-classical setting.
