Independents POLYVINYL RECORD CO. and FATHER/DAUGHTER RECORDS have announced a formal partnership. As part of the deal, POLYVINYL has acquired an equity stake in the SAN FRANCISCO based label, allowing the two to work together while FATHER/DAUGHTER retains autonomy over all creative decisions. FATHER/DAUGHTER will continue to maintain their worldwide distribution via SECRETLY DISTRIBUTION, with POLYVINYL now handling direct-to-customer fulfillment.
FATHER/DAUGHTER founder, JESSI FRICK commented, “To say we're excited to partner with POLYVINYL would be an understatement. As FATHER/DAUGHTER continues to evolve, we're always looking for innovative ways to connect our artists' work with as many listeners as possible. This union will allow us to tap into this indie label powerhouse's 25+ years of experience, not to mention they are some of the kindest, most genuine people in the industry. It's also very refreshing, as a woman-owned business, to be partnering with a partly women-owned label!”
POLYVINYL co-founder, MATT LUNSFORD said, “POLYVINYL has grown and changed in many ways since our start in 1996, but our commitment to supporting the indie ecosystem we're a part of has always remained the same. In that spirit, it is an honor to be investing in JESSI and partnering with FATHER/DAUGHTER. JESSI clearly shares our independent ethos, having already championed dozens of artists and built up FATHER/DAUGHTER's fantastic catalog over the past decade. We cannot wait to roll up our sleeves together and dive into what's next!”
