Formed in the late '90s by friends and bandmates Josh Rosenfeld and Christopher Possanza as a way to put out music by their own band (This Busy Monster) and by their friends (Death Cab for Cutie, John Vanderslice, et al), Barsuk Records has grown and flourished over the years to release classic indie records from other Northwest artists including The Long Winters, Laura Gibson, David Bazan, Chris Staples, Hibou, Rocky Votolato, Jesse Sykes & The Sweet Hereafter, Say Hi, Menomena, and Ruler, as well as Phantogram, Nada Surf, Ra Ra Riot, Charly Bliss, Maps & Atlases, Mates of State, The Dismemberment Plan, Rilo Kiley, Cymbals Eat Guitars, Common Holly, and more. Twenty plus years on, Barsuk is still run full-time by its owners and a small group of music-loving staffers. Focused not on any specific genre, but simply on supporting creativity, Barsuk has developed an outstanding reputation for quality and integrity, and the label promises to be a bastion of quality music for years to come.
