Thank you for your interest in working with Art As Catharsis.
We’d love to hear your music, but we receive a large number of submissions – apologies in advance if we can’t get back to you.
If you’d like to send us some music here are a few requirements to help maximise the chance that your submission will get heard:
– Please send all submissions to lachlan(at)artascatharsis.com with the subject line: “Submission: <Band> (Ciy)” – EG: Submission: Hashshashin (Sydney)
– All submissions must contain a Soundcloud stream link. We prefer not to download files.
– Final mixes and mastered files are always preferred. To be honest, rough mixes don’t create a great first impression for your music.
– Clearly label your style/s and influences. This will help us get a quick sense of whether your style suits our label.
– It’s kinda obvious if you don’t know us. We generally focus on forward-thinking prog, post-rock, doom, death metal, psych and jazz from Australian artists. We love polyrhythms and drone. We do not release salsa music.
– We don’t need a long essay on your history, a sense of your career highlights and release plans in a paragraph or two is helpful.
– We are generally booked up 6 to 12 months in advance, so please don’t ask us to release something in 2 weeks time.
– If we do wish to work with you, just be aware that we run promotional campaigns of 8 to 12 weeks, and that we will need assets 6 weeks before the campaign starts (which suggests a minimum 4 months between signing and album release – though our release schedule will likely me a longer wait).
– Email us on lachlan(att)artascatharsis(dott)com
Thank you for making this a little easier on us. We look forward to hearing your music.
