LMNTL My Dear Watson
The License Lab is not your usual corporate, standard, run-of-the-mill, production music superstore. And that’s precisely the way we designed it and like it. So while our catalog does not have everything for everyone, what we do have will surprise and delight your eardrums. This article is part of a series that takes a look at each of our meticulously curated labels to show you what they’re all about.
indie aesthetics from unique artist/producer collaborations
radio-ready SOUNDS and attention-grabbing sonics
full vocal productions in a variety of USEFUL styles
There is no such thing as replicating authenticity. It either is or it is not. Do or do not. There is no try. Our inaugural label for independent artists is one based on the four essential elements of authentic and emotionally compelling production music:
craft (n) : skill, dexterity
passion (n) : any powerful or compelling emotion or feeling
form (n) : the manner or style of arranging and coordinating parts for a pleasing or effective result, as in literary or musical composition:
utility (n) : the state or quality of being useful; usefulness
Each LMNTL release is just that: an album, lovingly crafted with the care of a passion project. We harness that energy by fostering artist/producer collaborations that take your favorite elements of indie releases and mold them into a series of records that retain that independent spirit while making it easy to drop into your next edit. The best of both worlds.
Let the virtual crate-digging begin.
Take the futuristic yet vintage vibes of vocoders, smooth synths, and bubbling 808s… and put them in a blender. Your ears will love the atmospheric, introspective, and rhythmically evocative sounds of Thugbot. This album takes the high hopes and broken promises of a generation and brings them to the not-too-distant future, where we still scrub our own floors and drive our own cars. Where’s my jetpack?
There’s an intimacy that Fragile Infinite brings to any project that is impossible to fake. Acoustic guitars with healthy amounts of sound design pair beautifully with subdued and occasionally whispered male vocals. And no, we don’t know the next time they’ll be in Portland.
Magnetic and memorable melodies over a blend of modern indie doo-wop and electro pop, this album has plenty of energy and youthful exuberance. With backing harmonies, group vocals, and popping horns, this record just makes you feel good.
Every 10 years or so, a new generation remembers how to play the guitar with such force and tenacity that it shakes up the establishment and inspires the next generation of rockers. Sometimes you just want a garage band and play the snot out of their instruments. And The Royal Tigers are the band to wake up your audience and get them on their feet.
