Nothing Standard Recordings’ first releases arrived in June, coinciding with sync placements in the Amazon Prime Video film Your Fault: London.
“Over the past five years, we’ve been trusted to represent exceptional catalogs and connect their music with audiences around the world. These new ventures allow us to bring that same philosophy to music we’re developing ourselves, working alongside artists and songwriters from the earliest stages of the creative process.”
