Once you kind of perfect one thing, it seems natural to move on to take over the step above that. Actors want to become directors, etc. So now that Wilco have said “We got this recording album business down,” (probably not an exact quote) they have decided to start their own record label. Voila! dBpm Records is born!
The label will handle ““all future Wilco recordings and more.” The “and more” part sure sounds enticing! Distribution and marketing will happen come with help from ANTI- Records, the sister label to longstanding punk label Epitaph Records.
Frontman Jeff Tweedy said, “We really like doing things ourselves, so having our own label feels pretty natural to me. And, to be working with ANTI- a label that has its roots in a label that was started by a punk rock guy to sell his own records seems like a perfect fit for us.”
