The Orchard & Frenchkiss Records to launch new label group
Independent distro company The Orchard in partnership with Frenchkiss Records and label founder Syd Butler, announced today the formation of the Frenchkiss Label Group, which will serve as a potential new home for developing labels, in spirit similar to indie powerhouse Secretly Canadian. “Playing music and operating a successful music label is what I know and love. The Frenchkiss Label Group presents an opportunity for developing labels to learn from my achievements and mistakes,” says Butler. The formation of the new label group comes after The Orchard recently expanded its relationship with Frenchkiss Records, home to acts like Local Natives, Les Savy Fav, Passion Pit and The Hold Steady, by adding physical distribution duties to an existing global digital deal. The group’s daily operations will be headed by Jordy Trachtenberg, formerly of Gammon Records. FKLG is currently accepting label submissions.
