DEBACLE

Debacle Records is an experimental record label from Seattle, Washington. Debacles focus is on providing self-contained, complete and pristine recordings, ranging from new primitive americana forms, heavenly drones, shredding noise, off kilter pop, and synth-soaked esoteric recordings. A consistent thread is engrained based on light harmonics, a bounding journey and a bright sense of gratitude. Founded by Samuel Melancon in 2004 the label has over 100 releases to it's name and naturally favours acoustic guitars, complex melodies and bouncing progression with bright timbre. It's been said that whilst Debacles aural experimentations range far and wide, all the releases maintain a wonderous fragility manifested in strange yet colourful performances laden with "shimmer” and a "hidden sense of joy”.

Artists: Chambers, Xua, Golden Retriever, Hayden Pedigo, L.A Lungs, Timm Mason, Deep Magic, Hobo Cubes, Black Hat, TJ Max, Rainbow Lorikeet...

"slowly enveloped in a lush environment of guitar riffs, sonic textures and dub basslines. This ain't just a track, but a narrative - and the scope of its story is epic" - The Ran$om Note

"crystal-like tones and vastly faded chords, the track suggests an expansive plane of cerebral and situational noise" - Decoder

"Debacle has expanded, recoiled, and rekindled, while consistently providing a stage for experimental music in the Pacific Northwest" - Impose

"Expansive rifts rise and fall with each cycle through the machine, churning forward through solid ground. There’s so much density here that it’s almost too much… almost!" - The Isolatarium
