Thrill Jockey
Founded in 1992 by former Atlantic Records A&R representative Bettina Richards, Thrill Jockey began in New York City before moving to Chicago in 1995. The independent label has remained rooted in adventurous, artist-led music, with a roster that crosses experimental songwriting, heavy music, ambient work and psychedelic rock.
Its releases include work by Big Brave and The Body, whose records bring weight and abrasion to the catalogue, alongside the intimate electronic and acoustic approaches of Claire Rousay, Midori Hirano and More Eaze. Sally Anne Morgan, Black Duck and Rose City Band further reflect a label comfortable with folk forms, improvisation and open-ended psych. Thrill Jockey is based in Chicago.
