Sonic Youth Recordings
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sonic Youth Recordings is a record label established by the rock band Sonic Youth in 1996. SYR was set up to allow the band to release records by themselves and their friends without the commercial pressures of a major label. As a result, the work on this label tends towards free improvisation and experimental music.
The records that Sonic Youth themselves released on this label follow a tradition where each album is released in a different language. SYR1 has song titles and album sleeve artwork all in French; SYR2 is in Dutch, SYR3 is in Esperanto, SYR5 is in Japanese and SYR6 is in Lithuanian.
