A little old, this one (pre-Christmas 2008), but still a lengthy and interesting insight into the mad musical world of Mr David Kennedy. Some text appeared in my RA label of the month feature back in January.

What we'd like to put out is just stuff that you're still going to be listening to in ten years time - stuff that doesn't really sound like anything else. [...] We just want to put out stuff that you're not going to stop playing a after few months because it's been rinsed – I think that's my interpretation of what the label's about. I think there's a lot of good music out there, but not a lot of really good music, and I think that sometimes not every tune has to come out just for the sake of it.
