20 Years Of Sister 9 / Various (Uk) - 20 Years Of Sister 9 / Various (Uk) [CD]

2024 marks the 20th Anniversary of Sister 9 Recordings-and to celebrate, the label's final release of the year is a Limited Edition 2 CD Set spanning two decades since the first release back in 2004. The label, which was initially called 'Parlour 9', was set up by lo-fi/post-punk/scuzz/rock band, DOLIUM, with the sole intention to release their own music-but after a while (and after a little taste of success) the label began releasing music by other artists. Parlour 9 had a strong independent heart, an anti-music industry attitude and an artist-led ethos of 'LO-FI / DIY ONLY', meaning that the use of proper recording studios was banned in all of the label's output. The transition to 'Sister 9' was a natural and gradual process, with the independent/artist-led ethos remaining firmly in place, but with the 'LO-FI / DIY ONLY' tag removed, meaning that the use of professional recording studios would also be allowed. Over the years, the label has been slowly and organically growing, signing and working with many different acts, including; JuJu, Deja Vega, Mouses, Frankie Teardrop Dead, Kodaclips and Kill Your Boyfriend. 2024 (the 20th Anniversary year) was it's busiest yet, with autumn alone seeing vinyl releases by Bones Shake, Cosmic Room 99, Nothingheads and Big Mountain County-as well as a mammoth 4 CD Box Set by Dolium. Set for release on December 20th, the '20 Years Of Sister 9' Double CD Set demonstrates all aspects of the label's output, from the lo-fi/DIY'd releases to the high-end studio recordings, and everything in-between.
