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.

Returning with their first new music in 8 years, Stubborn Heart release their anticipated new album Made Of Static, via One Little Independent Records. Luca Santucci and Ben Fitzgerald, who have spent the last few years developing the ten brooding electro-soul tracks that make up the successor to their lauded 2012 self-titled debut, have once again struck a fine balance between ominous synth-soundscapes and introspective songwriting.

Balance is the key theme here. With Fitzgerald leading the production and manning the machines, the sound is rawer than on their previous album. Left-field pop with dark, icy edges, it finds a home somewhere in between r&amp;b and cold wave. Santucci brings the heart and with it his aching, obsessive lyrics and a desire for something grittier in its presentation. The duo’s talents complement each other perfectly throughout.

Santucci has amassed an impressive list of writing and vocal credits in his time, with the likes of XL and Warp signee Leila Arab, Plaid, Riton and Soulwax amongst them. Fitzgerald has also been hard at work at his home studio programming various styles of music for artists and producers from around the world. As Stubborn Heart, they come armed with some serious experience and a wealth of influences. There’s an honest simplicity in the way they create, with lyrics written in an immediate, direct fashion with the aim to catch a feeling rather than emulate one
