So, one of our favourite UK indie labels - Full Time Hobby (home to White Denim, Micah P. Hinson, Tunng, Fujiya and Miyagi and loads of others - are being super-generous and giving away a load of free tracks on their website, and all you have to do is join their mailing list!
Established in 2004 by Nigel Adams and Wez, Full Time Hobby’s name was and is a truism, a label conceived as a way of turning a passion for music into a permanent occupation. Elektra, Rough Trade and Domino provided the inspiration, as did Creation, whose Doing It For The Kids comp was adapted for the title. “But Creation inspires us less and less as Alan McGee continues to make statements like, All record companies are fucking rubbish,” says Nigel. “You've had your turn, now let us have a go.”
Since the beginning, Full Time Hobby’s business plan was simple: to break down the barriers between artist and label. It’s an approach that’s resulted in the flowering of their entire roster, from Tunng’s career-best album Good Arrows to Malcolm Middleton’s flurry of masterful albums and the formation of nu-folk supergroup The Accidental.
