Label Review: Polyvinyl Records

Polyvinyl

The Polyvinyl Recording Company is another cool label deserving of a Plugg on my ‘label review’ line up. Hailing from Danville, Illinois, Chicago this label focuses on bringing great new indie acts to the limelight. As a good label should begin this is story of Matt and Darcie Lunsford that started a fanzine named Polyvinyl Press which turned in to a successful label after their friends from the band Braid asked them to release a 7”.

of Montreal

They’ve since worked with some really cool bands who’ve struck indie gold, if you’ve never tuned in to ‘Of Montreal’. ‘Mates of State’ or ‘Architecture in Helsinki‘ I suggest you do it now.

Here are a few tracks from their catalogue:

31 Knots – Welcome to Stop

AM/FM – Gone in Three

American Football – Honestly?

Architecture in Helsinki –Heart it Races

Braid – Do You Love Coffee?

Cale Parks – Wet Paint

Hail Social – Hand are Tied

Headlights – This One (live)

Ida – Late Blues

Joan of Arc – You

Mates of State – Fraud in te 80’s
