Hello.....

Since it's practically the future already now, we've decided to join everyone else and start a blog for Square Root Records. We started the label back in 2005 as a way to promote the sort of music that often gets ignored in "local music scenes." However, since then, that idea has basically become irrelevant, because the idea of a relatively isolated "local music scene" has become closer and closer to being obsolete. So, now the goal of our label is simply to act as a showcase for what we think is good, cutting-edge music.

When we began Square Root Records, most of the music being presented by the label was based on electronics in some way or another. While that is still largely the case, we've branched out with some of our recent releases, touching on acoustic ballads and folk-based chamber pop, while still keeping that idea of electronic music as a touchstone.

The first release on Square Root was the Catalog compilation in 2005, and we've released 13 albums, EPs, and singles since then. All of our releases are available for free download from our website, www.squarerootmusic.com, as well as being available for purchase on CD. We recently released two new albums, Idalis/Hadalis by Cantilever and Specific Ocean by Tokyo Morose, as well as a single by Spectral Mornings called Spring Rain. We have four new releases lined up for the spring...

So yeah.
