Tricycle Records

Bio:

.. .. .. .. .. Tricycle Records is a small label based in San Francisco, CA. Our philosophy is simple. We believe artists should maintain control of their music through the production process. Once a record is mastered we step in to distribute and promote it. We provide our bands with a strong media package along with PR, booking and distribution through the Tricycle Records catalog. We support independent artists that need to professionalize their look, sell records and increase their presence in the Indie music industry. At the end of the day, the music is what matters most. We are always happy to listen.

'Animal Shaped' EP
OUT MARCH 9th, 2010

"Layers of bubbling synths and winding guitars and cellos, and Mike Deni's haunting vocals ride above the electro-acoustic fracas wonderfully. Simply stunning." -KQED Mix Tape

The Northern Key

"Filled with meditative ballads, steeped in acoustic guitar, cellos, and soft crooning...The Northern Key is audio herbal tea: calm and lovely and a nice sanctuary from one’s busy day." --Loudvine

'Realize The Ghost' Full Length DIGITAL ONLY Out Jan. 2010

What Blaqk Audio is to AFI, Silver Swans are to SF faves LoveLikeFire. Silver Swans are a fantastic new local synth/dance side project of Ann Yu, lead singer of LoveLikeFire, and it's an incredible piece of haunting, hyponotic and dreamy electronic pop. For fans of The Knife, Ladytron and LaRoux. -Aaron Axelson, Live 105 Soundcheck

The Blacks


New Release!

'Tiger Songs' DIGITAL ONLY
..

"Perhaps the real success of Tiger Songs can be summed up with a line from “Gravitas,” with its buzzing sirens: “He’s got gravity / He’s got a weight on him.” This is an album with substance and staying power; The Blacks may be gone, but they will surely not be forgotten." -Katherine Hoffert, Owl Mag

The Union Trade..


..
"Everyday Including"

"As emotional as it could get, “Everyday Including” is a transcendental album awash in guitar fuzzy logic and hugely catchy triumphs. Simply amazing and simply essential."

The Red Verse


"The band’s style moves back and forth from a Strokes-influenced prep-rock to 50s-60s Rock and Roll and country, with throwbacks to Elvis and Johnny Cash" - Emily Logan, The Bay Bridged.

-myspace

............................


The Blacks


"The Blacks' ragged, gutsy sound fits right in, capitalizing on the perennial market for raw rock. The three-piece band's debut LP, Nom de Guerre, offers a minimalist approach fueled by equal doses of energy and verve." - NPR Music

The Union Trade..
Debut EP 'Now The Swell' (2007)


"Lofty, sweeping chords and the deliberate, steadfast pace of the Union Trade tell the tale of a band that eschews flair and fireworks"

The Frail
..

.."The perfect fix for anyone waiting for the next Postal Service record.The Count On This EP, is full of big electronic beats mixed with indie rock sensibilities, tipping their caps to Hot Chip at times, then to Death Cab for Cutie at others." -Future Sounds

"The Aimless Never Miss create a giddy atmosphere with soaring vocals, densely layered guitars, bass, and keyboards. It's the sort of music that makes it impossible to sulk as your muscles twitch involuntarily into something resembling dancing." - Flavorpill

Aim Low Kid



"The songs are desolate, elegiac, and sound as if pulled from a deep well, especially the country-flecked ìGonna Die,î which has a surprisingly warm syrup of bassline and more of that insolent, scratchy fiddle. How can this be pop music? Weíre not completely sure."
