Tri Angle Records shuts down after a decade
Robin Carolan announced the closure of his Brooklyn-based label, launched in 2010, on social media Friday. “Last year I made a decision about the label’s future, and it’s taken a while to sort out of the practicalities, but I wanted to let everyone know that today marks the end of Tri Angle,” he wrote. “I wish all my fellow independent labels/artists the best of luck in what are sure to be very trying times.”
Carolan also shared a “playlist of my own personal Tri Angle favorites,” titled Tri Angle: The END (2010 – 2020).
Tri Angle debuted with a compilation of Lindsay Logan covers compilation called Let Me Shine For You, which featured Laurel Halo, Oneohtrix Point Never, Autre Ne Veut and more, followed by releases from oOoOO, Balam Acab and How To Dress Well. Its most recent records include the likes of LOFT (now AYA), Vessel, serpentwithfeet and Lotic.

due to personal reasons. I cried for weeks!! not only for myself & my dream of releasing on one of the most important labels, but purely as a Tri Angle fan. I can’t think of many other labels as singular a vision. Tri Angle forever ?????

Some of our favourite moments came (and still somehow continue to come) from working with Robin @TriAngleRecords, if you have some spare time (and you’re not already familiar) these next few weeks we fully recommend digging into their back catalogue, beautiful, brutal, brilliant. https://t.co/wIzyKc7WSz
