ERR is shared equally between Jan Lankisch from Tomlab, and Matthew Thornhill from XL. ERR began in March 2007 with the blessing of XL and Tomlab, but without any official association to either.

Jan is Art Director and A&R for Tomlab, Matthew is General Manager and A&R at XL. They have both been heavily involved in releases by Final Fantasy, be your own PET, Patrick Wolf, M.I.A., The Blow, Gotan Project, Les Georges Leningrad, Lemon Jelly, Deerhoof, Ratatat and many more.

Jan is based in Cologne and will be looking after mainland Europe.

Matthew is based in London and will be taking care of the UK.

The first release on ERR is ‘I Believe In You. Your Magic Is Real’ by YACHT from Portland, OR. YACHT is Jona Bechtolt who is the production half of K Records / Tomlab artist The Blow. Jona has played drums with Devendra Banhart, and remixed artists like Architecture In Helsinki, Tussle, Mirah and many others.

The second release will most likely be White Flight’s self-titled debut. White Flight is Justin Roelofs, formerly of The Anniversary, from Lawrence, Kansas. His album was released in the US this year on Range Life Records, distributed by Saddle Creek.

We’re both experts at record releasing.

We’re both in a great position to pull enough favours to punch above our weight.

We’re both connected enough to source a massive amount of music.

ERR allows both of us to release music without being answerable to anyone but each other.
