Label GB

The influential 4AD label was started in 1980 by music enthusiasts Ivo Watts-Russell and Peter Kent with financial help from Beggars Banquet, whose record store chain the pair worked for. Originally called Axis, they released an initial series of four 7" singles before finding out that the name Axis was already being used by another label. They quickly came up with a new name, 4AD, inspired by typography on a flyer announcing their releases. Under Ivo Watts-Russell's guidance, drawing influence from other UK indie labels such as Beggars Banquet, Postcard Records and Factory, 4AD quickly established a unique identity thanks to both the cover designs of Vaughan Oliver/v23 and the label's unique numbering system.

In 1992, 4AD entered a highly publicized Stateside distribution deal with Warner Bros. Records, opening offices in New York headed up by Robin Hurley. The label was largely run from California for most of the decade after Ivo Watts-Russell moved to Los Angeles in the mid-90s. In November 1999 it was announced that Martin Mills had taken over as chairman and relocated its HQ to London.

Decoding their unique numbering system reveals various formats like mail-order only releases (4AD), LPs (CAD), MP3 downloads (EAD), posters (FAD), videos (VAD) and more. The numeric portion of their catalog numbers

vinyl comes with free cd version daughter the london-based trio of elena tonra, igor haefeli and remi aguilella release 'if you leave' through 4ad. 'if you leave' was recorded over a period of months at home and in various spaces across london. production was overseen by igor with additional production from rodaidh mcdonald (the xx, adele) and jolyon vaughan thomas (maps), and mixed by ken thomas (sigur ros, m83) at high bank studio and mastered by geoff pesche at abbey road studios. less of a statement of intent, these ten songs are more of a snapshot of a year in daughter's short life. lyrically, elena plumb the depths of her psyche to reveal her innermost thoughts, finding comfort in expounding those internal demons. if you leave is a bold move for an act still in its infancy, displaying a maturity that belies their youth. daughter started life in 2010 as an outlet for the musings of elena and igor, then fellow class-mates studying music in college. a four-track ep 'his young heart' was self-released in april 2011, 'the wild youth' ep followed soon after. remi completed the line-up in late-2011. on the strength of those two releases alone the trio have gained a loyal fan base, which continues to grow.rough trade east in-store - daughter - tuesday 19th march, 8pm
