Brainlove Records is an independent UK record label that began in 2003, with the aim of promoting and releasing music by underexposed bands and musicians. Brainlove also acts as an umbrella organisation, meeting point and online community for creators and fans of genre-bending new music.

Philosophy

Press Quotes
"New sounds are VITAL to any given art form to keep the life blood pumping: invigorating and challenging new sounds even more so. Brainlove Records understand this better than most: showcasing nervy, angular bands with oodles of passion and - even more importantly - melody coursing through their dank underground veins." - Everett True, Careless Talk Costs Lives / Plan B

"If you like your pop warped and experimental Brainlove Records deserves a special place in your heart. Like Postcard, Warp or even early Def Jam, Brainlove is one of those little labels that delivers a diverse range of music, yet maintains a strong identity for itself, partly through its artwork but mainly through its comittment to underground pop that's sexy, arty and innovative." - Beard (2005 EMAP zine award winner)

"The outlet for underground hero John Brainlove... the desire to find the bands who match the sounds in his head is laudable." -

"Brainlove Records with their recent clutch of EPs seem to be turning into the talent spotters to watch" -

"A really good label." - Huw Stephens, BBC Radio 1
