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.

Sarah Neufeld is a Canadian violinist, born on August 27, 1979, on Vancouver Island in British Columbia. With her mesmerizing talent and passion for music, she has established herself as a prominent figure in the industry.

Neufeld's unique style and captivating performances have drawn comparisons to artists such as Richard Reed Parry, Colin Stetson, Bell Orchestre, and Esmerine. Her ability to evoke emotion through her violin playing sets her apart from others in the field.

Having collaborated with esteemed musicians like Jessica Moss and Julianna Barwick, Neufeld continues to push boundaries and explore new musical territories. Her work with A Winged Victory for the Sullen showcases her versatility and artistic vision.

Composer and violinist Sarah Neufeld is a career-long touring and recording member of Arcade Fire. Her third solo LP Detritus confronts anguish with beauty, turmoil with grace, gliding through the present like a dancer mid-motion, reaching through space 'til she's caught.

The album is wistful and emotive and carries the listener on a journey of euphoric and complex looped violin dusted with mesmeric melody recall. Openers ‘Stories’ and ‘Unreflected’ lead with atmospheric ease, sombre soundscapes and distant, otherworldly vocals. ‘With Love And Blindness’ ups the tempo with remote, dreamlike rhythms that hypnotise and enthrall. ‘The Top’ is elated, but it highlights the isolated strings and poetic loneliness Neufeld is able to convey with them. ‘Tumble Down The Undecided’ and ‘Shed Your Heart’ are climatic in their delivery, full of cascading notes and delays before closer Detritus exits with a state of calm, easing back into the shadows and taking with it the vivid textures and images crafted with infinite grace over the course of the album.
