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

Meaning all things magick and supernatural, the root of the word occult is that which is hidden, concealed, beyond the limits of our minds.

If this is occult, then the Occult Architecture of <a href="https://roughtrade.com/us/artist/moon-duo">Moon Duo's</a> fourth album - a psychedelic opus in two separate volumes released in 2017 - is an intricately woven hymn to the invisible structures found in the cycle of seasons and the journey of day into night, dark into light. Offering a cosmic glimpse into the hidden patterning embedded in everything, Occult Architecture reflects the harmonious duality of these light and dark energies through the Chinese theory of Yin and Yang. In Chinese, Yin means "the shady side of the hill" and is associated with the feminine, darkness, night, earth. Following this logic, Vol. 1 embraces and embodies <a href="https://roughtrade.com/us/artist/moon-duo">Moon Duo's</a> darker qualities - released appropriately on February 3, in the heart of winter in the Northern Hemisphere.
