Merge Records

Merge Records is an independent record label based in Durham, North Carolina. Founded in 1989 by Laura Ballance and Mac McCaughan, it started as a platform to release music from their band Superchunk and their friends' creations. Over the years, Merge Records has grown to include talented artists from all over the world, with some of their records even reaching the top of the Billboard music charts.
With its headquarters nestled in Durham, North Carolina, Merge Records has become a renowned name in the music industry. The label was established by Laura Ballance and Mac McCaughan back in 1989 with a vision to share their own musical endeavors as well as support fellow musicians within their circle.
What began as a humble endeavor quickly flourished into something much greater. Today, Merge Records boasts an impressive roster of artists spanning various genres and backgrounds. From indie rock to experimental pop, *Superchunk* paved the way for other talented musicians to join forces under this esteemed label's umbrella.

The Clientele are a three-piece band that formed in Hampshire in 1997. Their music is influenced by artists such as Felt, Galaxie 500, Television, Love, and The West Coast Pop Art Experimental Band. They also draw inspiration from 70s AM radio songwriters like Jimmy Webb and Willie Nelson. With minimalist arrangements and jazz chords and rhythms, their sound has been described as reminiscent of late lonely nights on a long-wave radio.

The Clientele's 2009 album, Bonfires on the Heath has been re-pressed and is now available on vinyl via Merge worldwide. First time pressed to vinyl outside of North America. LP package is single jacket + black vinyl + code for full album download.
