Gronland Records

GRÖNLAND RECORDS was launched in 2001 on the back of the reissues of Kraftwerk founders and Krautrock innovators NEU!. With the electronic pioneers being the first international release Grönland embarked on its very own mission to unearth a wide musical range of very unique sounds with emphasis on the rough edges of each artist.
Grönland's eclectic edgy roster also includes Yorkshire troubadour MERZ (formerly on epic), long-term Sparklehorse collaborator SOL SEPPY, experimental junk folk from the Orkneys (HALF COUSIN), singer/songwriter PETRA JEAN PHILLIPSON (voice of David Holmes Free Association), electronica influenced rock (MACHINE) and daringly distinct electronica (ROEDELIUS, LUNZ).
The inspiration behind Grönland is, most simply, the philosophy that it isn't the marketing strategy that influences business decisions, but the musician and his craft. Without disregarding the economical aspects of the record label's survival, Grönland refuses to become a production plant or an example of "how marketing creates musicians". Rather, it is committed to being a fertile field where art and music are free to grow and where care and time invested over the years yield success.
