Mom+Pop

Mom + Pop Music is an independent record label based in New York City, founded in 2008 by Michael Goldstone. The label has built a roster that spans contemporary indie rock, alternative pop, and electronic music, with releases and artist partnerships that move between guitar-driven bands, singer-songwriters, and producers working in modern pop and dance-adjacent styles.

Goldstone leads the company as co-president alongside Thaddeus Rudd, who joined in 2009 as Goldstone’s business partner and co-president. Over time, Mom + Pop’s artist lineup has reflected a broad view of independent music, pairing established names with newer projects across multiple scenes rather than focusing on a single genre niche.

The label’s roster, as described in available sources, includes artists such as Courtney Barnett, Magdalena Bay, Madeon, Tom Morello, Porter Robinson, Maya Hawke, Tycho, Tash Sultana, Sunflower Bean, Beach Bunny, Caamp, and Del Water Gap. This range illustrates Mom + Pop’s identity: indie rock and alternative songwriting sit alongside electronic and pop-leaning acts, with artists like Tycho, Madeon, and Porter Robinson representing the label’s connection to electronic music, while Courtney Barnett, Beach Bunny, and Sunflower Bean point to its footing in indie and alternative rock. Maya Hawke and Del Water Gap reflect a parallel emphasis on singer-songwriter and pop-oriented work within the same independent framework.
