"Sacred Bones Records is a label, the way labels should be: a starkly rendered visual identity and a tangible presence behind the bands and music they release – one which, simultaneously, doesn’t dictate a set template in the awful way that some do. The unifier on Sacred Bones is more a case of attitude, of bringing together disparate artists – whether Jenny Hval or Psychic Ills, John Carpenter or Pharmakon – who have a strong musical intent and self-will, however that might play out in auditory practice. Of course, being open to such diversity can create problems: I’ve been regularly drawn to works by Sacred Bones, but with mixed outcomes and a certain caution each time I take a chance on the label’s denizens."
