A2IM: American Association of Independent Music

Kanine Records is a Brooklyn/NY based independent record label. Our releases include debut albums by Grizzly Bear, Surfer Blood, Chairlift. Recent releases include Eternal Summers 'Silver', Pepper Rabbit 'Beauregard'. Upcoming releases by BRAIDS, Young Prisms, Dream Diary and Xray Eyeballs.

Initially founded in 2002 as an offshoot of the celebrated Knitting Factory club in lower Manhattan, Knitting Factory Records, along with the new Knitting Factory club in Brooklyn, was reborn in 2009 with the acquisition and re-release of the Fela Kuti catalog. KFR also encompasses the catalogs of Instinct Records, Shadow Records, Shimmy Disc, and Evolver Records. In partnership with Partisan Records, a Brooklyn-based artist-run label, Knitting Factory Records strives to honor the music of an eclectic array of relevant artists drawn from both the past and the present. We think Fela said it best: “Music is the weapon. Music is the thing of the future. Music is the weapon of the future.”
