About Me

OK, so you've gathered we're not a band by now. Preservation is a label from Sydney, Australia, releasing sweet and exploratory sounds from across the music spectrum around the world. Weve released the pop albums from experimentalists Chris Townend and Oren Ambarchi (Sun), an overview of Australian experimental, electronica and sound-art (Motion: Movement in Australian Sound), ambient folk artist Tara Jane ONeil from Kentucky, the post-rock atmospherics of Saddleback from northern NSW, experimental 12-string guitar from Germany's Steffen Basho-Junghans, acid-tinged folk from Japan's Eddie Marcon, the pure songwriting genius of Melbourne's Grand Salvo and expansive electronica from Post (also out of Melbourne), the fab multi-instrumentalist Aaron Martin from Kansas, projects featuring Charalabmbides' Tom Carter, and the exquisite acoustic ruminations of Scotland's Early Songs.We also love making the look of the CD that little bit special.... all our unique packaging is hand-crafted and designed in-house by Mark Gowing (www.markgowing.com). Hell, we've won awards!Please do try it!
