Black Horizons

About Me

Black Horizons is an independant record label based out of San Francisco, CA. It speaks it's own language of modern, often dark avant garde sound. There is no singlular sound or style for the label, however there is a unified aesthetic and presentation for the label due to visual control remaining in the hands of the label itself. Those familiar know this already, a Black Horizons release is easy to recognize. Black Horizons encourages you to share for non-profit making purposes, and even prefers it's listeners to develop ever more radical opinions regarding music and art, and it's place in society as a whole. Conformity is the living death. avaliable now-
