Tri Angle (record label)
Tri Angle is an independent record label founded in 2010 by Robin Carolan and Wes Tolosa. Based in London and New York City, the label is known for its distinct aesthetic, focusing on experimental electronic music, often incorporating elements of ambient, noise, and R&B.
Tri Angle gained recognition for its early signings, which included artists like Clams Casino, Balam Acab, and Holy Other, contributing significantly to the popularization of witch house and related genres in the early 2010s.
Over the years, the label's roster expanded to include artists such as The Haxan Cloak, Vessel, Forest Swords, Lotic, serpentwithfeet, and Arca. These artists are characterized by their boundary-pushing approaches to sound design and genre conventions.
Tri Angle's visual identity is also a key component of its brand. The label is known for its distinctive album art and promotional materials, often employing dark, abstract, and visually arresting imagery.
The label has been influential in shaping the sound of contemporary electronic music and has played a significant role in launching the careers of several critically acclaimed artists. Tri Angle ceased releasing new music in 2020, marking the end of a decade-long run of influential releases.
