Capital A
The idea of "artists making music, musicians making art" has always been a suspect one, conjuring images of failed noise projects and vanity art books. Yet Creative Capitalism brings to mind something less disheartening and more practical. "I don't follow aesthetics," says founder Peter Quinn. "This is a label that is going to be based on belief systems." Creative Capitalism's first venture was an art book called Friends and Friends of Friends, where the only theme was artists networking through the book itself. Subsequent releases have been of the recorded variety, ranging from the math rock of Ponytail to the languid violas of Low Moda, all bound together by striking, band-controlled sleeve design and enthusiasm for music that is experimental without losing structure or pop sensibility. "I don't know what I am doing," Quinn says. "But I feel like I'm doing something right." (Sam Hockley-Smith)
