Asthmatic Kitty

Asthmatic Kitty was established in 1999 by a community of musicians in Holland, Michigan. Originally created as a platform for releasing their own material, the label has since expanded and now has offices in Lander, Wyoming, Indianapolis, Indiana and New York City. Today, Asthmatic Kitty is distributed through Secretly Canadian in collaboration with Sounds Familyre.

The unique name 'Asthmatic Kitty' originated from a veterinarian's reference to 'asthma kitties' during an examination of Sara, a stray cat that one of the label founders had rescued. This quirky name stuck and eventually became the identity of the label.

With its diverse roster of talented artists and performers, Asthmatic Kitty continues to be at the forefront of independent music. The label's commitment to showcasing innovative and boundary-pushing music has earned it a reputation as an influential force within the industry. Whether you're searching for captivating melodies or thought-provoking lyrics, Asthmatic Kitty offers a rich catalog that will satisfy any music enthusiast's cravings.

Back In Stock

Asthmatic Kitty Records release Carrie and Lowell Live, an audio and visual document of Sufjan’s November 9, 2015 performance at North Charleston Performing Arts Center in South Carolina. This 12 inch is pressed on translucent blue vinyl. On Side A is Blue Bucket of Gold and its outro, and on Side B is Hotline Bling featuring Gallant. Released in March 2015, Carrie and Lowell is perhaps Sufjan’s bleakest album, tracing the songwriter’s struggle with grief and depression following the sudden death of his mother. To promote the album, Sufjan set out on an extensive worldwide tour, playing almost 100 concerts performing almost exclusively songs from the new record. The show, which was designed by Marc Janowitz, incorporated an expansive lighting display and cathedral-like LED columns featuring home videos shot by Sufjan’s maternal grandfather, Nick Marabeas. Much of this vintage footage highlights family birthdays, graduations, and weddings of Carrie and her siblings from the late 1940s through the early 1970s, lending the performances the emotional arc of a memorial, celebrating Carrie’s life and meditating on her death with a sweeping transcendence that gave testament to Sufjan’s central thesis of mourning: that in spite of death, we must go on living in fullness and joy. The live show featured many new interpretations, re-workings and expansions of the songs from Carrie and Lowell, itself a spare album. On stage, acoustic guitars, ukuleles, and piano were augmented by drums and percussion, electronics, and a motley of synthesizers to create an expansive sonic environment that moved from intimate to psychedelic without sacrificing the solemn nature of the material. Carrie and Lowell Live captures Sufjan at his most vulnerable and persuasive, and it features a proficient, multiple-instrumentalist crew of musicians, including Dawn Landes (vocals, guitar, guitalin, piano, synthesizer, vocoder, percussion), Casey Foubert (vocals, guitar, lap steel, bass, piano, ukulele, synthesizer), Steve Moore (vocals, synthesizer, bass synth, trombone, Casiotone, piano) and James McAlister (drums, percussion, electronics, synthesizer, piano). The live show ends with an expansive 12-minute improvisational jam that looks (and feels) like nothing less than a born-again experience. Carrie and Lowell Live was shot and produced by We Are Films, edited by Keith Bradshaw and Deborah Johnson, mixed by Casey Foubert, and mastered by TW Walsh.
