ORDER TWO THOUSAND AND ACE!
Hello. You are in the Brainlove Records MySpace. We're a young record label putting out music by exciting new bands and artists from the UK and beyond.
The label also aims to be an umbrella organisation and community for the creators and listeners of genre-bending, left-of-centre music. We do regular gig nights in London and all over England with a rolling cast of magnificent bands. Come and say hi sometime.
We have nice things to sell, too. All of our bands have music available on vinyl, CD and download... have a look over there on the left to order some of our treasures and trinkets.
We're already planning for 2008... Keyboard Choir's debut album is released on CD 25/02/08, and a split single by Modernaire and Friends Of The Bride comes soon after on 10/03/08, with tour dates to be announced soon. Bet on vast, giddy swathes of warmth, titillating excitement and glandular fun.

Press for Brainlove:
"New sounds are VITAL to any given art form to keep the life blood pumping: invigorating and challenging new sounds even more so. Brainlove Records understand this better than most: showcasing nervy, angular bands with oodles of passion and - even more importantly - melody coursing through their dank underground veins." - Everett True, Careless Talk / Plan B
"Brainlove Records with their recent clutch of EPs seem to be turning into the talent spotters to watch" - Drowned In Sound
"If you like your pop warped and experimental Brainlove Records deserves a special place in your heart. Like Postcard, Warp or even early Def Jam, Brainlove is one of those little labels that delivers a diverse range of music, yet maintains a strong identity for itself, partly through its artwork but mainly through its comittment to underground pop that's sexy, arty and innovative." - Beard (2005 EMAP zine award winner)
