For those who may be new to it, Squid Note Records is our in-house label created to support adventurous new recordings.

We launched Squid Note Records to release music we believe in — directly, carefully, and fairly. But we didn't set out with a formal plan to start a label. Squid Note grew from conversations with artists who trusted us and asked for a way to release work that might not otherwise find its audience.

So this isn't simply "our" label. It's something we are building together with the musicians themselves. The direction is shaped as much by the artists as by us — a collaborative effort grounded in mutual respect and shared commitment. Each release is an equal partnership, and proceeds are split evenly with the artists who create the music.

Barry Chabala & Clara Byom — Bella's Ghost Upcoming on Squid Note Records.

Daniel Levin — upcoming release In progress for Squid Note; details soon.

We're also developing forthcoming releases with Ivo Perelman and Rick Countryman.

f you've ever wondered how to help Squidco keep doing what it does, supporting Squid Note Records and the artists we represent is one direct way. Please take a listen, and if something connects, consider picking up a copy — your purchase helps us continue bringing ambitious work into the world.

Thank you,
