Introducing Hi-Scores Recording Library
Toronto is home to a new independent record label called Hi-Scores Recording Library, managed by James Trauzzi. Knowing that vinyl+digital is the future, Trauzzi is only releasing Hi-Scores’ music on vinyl and digital. They have already secured distribution in Canada, US and Japan, so their goal is to market worldwide.
Wolf In A Spacesuit will be their first release, a limited 7″ with the electro-dance Bark of a Cedar on Side A and I Fee Nthg on Side B. The band’s full-length will be released on Royal Rhino Flying Records, a label in the US. Wolf In A Spacesuit is truly extending the play this summer with a seventeen track Pink Slip EP to be released digitally this summer on Hi-Scores… yes, a seventeen track EP.
The second Hi-Scores album will be Dinosaur Bones, also as a limited 7″. Royalty will grace Side A and Ice Hotels on the flip side.
Another sign that this new label seem to understand the future of music (in our opinion) is their iPhone/Touch application, the Hi-Scores LP Player. “In keeping with mixing vinyl and digital music, this new application looks and interacts like an old record player, plays music from your iTunes library and puts the vinyl crackling sounds over your music.” The app sells for .99 cents and is quite the enjoyable gimmick.
