Language of Stone

About Me

Label of Stone exists to assist in the livelihood of musicians. We promote music that (we believe) matters and the idea that those who make it deserve, like all skilled craftsmen, adequate recompense. The notion of positive yield from destitution is antiquated and faulty. There is no shortage of miseries to suffer in life. Hunger, poverty and inadequate healthcare need not be one of them. Great art stems from a healthy support system.
