Isota Records

This «Boutique» label out of Oakland is run by another Mod Lang Alum, Joseph Finalw. Joe is a true music fan and everything he has put into the label is all about the love of the music. Music geek that I am Isota gets major points for its phenomenal packaging (especially the 7″ which I would usually refer to as 45’s but these actually play at 33 ¹⁄₃) designed by Nathaniel Russell (of Birds of America). They used to do a 7″ singles club deal but alas no more. They did put out a compilation of songs from that called fittingly enough «The Isota Records Singles Club: A Short Tale Of Beauty/​Madness/​Greed «
Personal label favorites The Black Keys, Birds of America and Department of Eagles, formerly (Whitey on the Moon UK). If you are interested in discovering new «indie», be it rock, jazz and some electronic stuff you should check the site.
