City Slang

City Slang has been a European outpost for American indie for almost 30 years. A home from home where innovative and pioneering artists have made their name in Europe and America. The records released through City Slang have helped shape and embellish the last three decades of alternative music. What better reason do we need to have them as our first Label Focus of 2019.

Christof Ellinghaus started City Slang in Berlin 1990, after Wayne Coyne asked him for a European label to put out A Priest Driven Ambulance. Ellinghaus' response? All the labels around him "were shit" and founded City Slang exclusively to release The Flaming Lips album. By 1991 City Slang had released the indie-folk classic Fakebookby Yo La Tengo, Favorite Spanish Dishes EP by Lemonheads and the debut album from Hole, Pretty on the Inside.

The following decade saw City Slang release albums by alternative heroes, Tortoise, Built To Spill, Sebadoh, Unsane and Guided By Voices but arguably the two bands that have helped define the label the most, releasing their best music under City Slang were Calexico and Lambchop.

Since their burgeoning period in the 90s, City Slang have continued to find and import the best indie music from America, having released records from the likes of Caribou, Arcade Fire, Broken Social Scene, White Denim, Jessica Pratt, Sinkane and Nada Surf.

To celebrate the hard work and amazing output of City Slang, we have a Rough Trade Exclusive red vinyl version of Lambchop's opus, Nixon and a Rough Trade Exclusive repress of Caribou's Melody Day with the Four Tet remix.

Back In Stock

Two years on from Marius Lauber aka Roosevelt's debut album, his sophomore effort Young Romance sees the DJ, producer and vocalist break free from the dance floor and step out into the light; a transition he makes effortlessly as he asserts his place in the upper echelons of guitar and synth-pop royalty. Having taken some time since his eponymous 2016 debut to tour tirelessly and pen remixes for CHVRCHES, Glass Animals, Rhye and more, this sophomore record began in his hometown of Cologne before being finished in Los Angeles, where it was mixed by Chris Coady (Beach House / Grizzly Bear / Future Islands). Here, Roosevelt covers the trials and tribulations of love, finding 'home', touring and losing touch; propelling himself into uncharted territory, both sonically and aesthetically.
