Sacred Bones Records

<a href="https://roughtrade.com/us/label/sacred-bones-records">SACRED BONES RECORDS</a>

Sacred Bones Records was founded in a basement in Brooklyn in 2007. Like so many labels, it started out as a way for label owner Caleb Braaten to release his friends’ music. It quickly grew into a bigger operation, while retaining the DIY ethos that defined its early days. Sacred Bones has become synonymous with forward-thinking, dark-tinted music, releasing landmark albums by artists like Zola Jesus, Jenny Hval, and Pharmakon, as well as fostering the music careers of the great directors David Lynch, John Carpenter, and Jim Jarmusch.

Rough Trade NYC's Tommy sat down with Caleb to talk about the history of the label, working in record shops and his favourite projects so far.

To celebrate Sacred Bones being our Label Focus, we have the following special editions available now at Rough Trade:

Sacred Bones Label Focus

Norwegian artist and writer <a href="https://roughtrade.com/us/artist/jenny-hval">Jenny Hval</a> has developed her distinct take on intimate sound since the release of her debut album in 2006.

For her last two solo albums, 2013's Innocence Is Kinky and 2015's Apocalypse, girl, <a href="https://roughtrade.com/us/artist/jenny-hval">Hval's</a> debut for Sacred Bones, she has received thoughtful and widespread international acclaim for her fascinating voice, singular delivery and markedly non-traditional arrangements which incorporate elements of poetry, prose writing, performance art, and film. <a href="https://roughtrade.com/us/artist/jenny-hval">Hval</a> has eloquently brought to light issues of both male and female gaze, which for years had been swept under the rug and/or denied all together.

"This is my most fictional and most personal album. It's also the first album where I've started reconnecting with the goth and metal scene I started out playing in many years ago, by remembering the drony qualities of Norwegian Black Metal. It's an album of vampires, lunar cycles, sticky choruses, and the smell of warm leaves and winter."
