Compiling a Decade of Unrelenting Creativity
Arts & Crafts, a label based in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, was founded in 2003 by Kevin Drew, leader of Broken Social Scene, and his friends Jeffrey Remedios.
Comprised of label mates who share an intimate, family-like bond, the handcrafted feel of their sound and artwork truly embodies the ethos of "Arts & Crafts." Though an independent label born in the 2000s, it has produced numerous artists who have been recognized with Grammy Awards, establishing itself as a significant force not only in Canada but in the global music scene.
Arts & Crafts 2003-2013, released to commemorate the 10th anniversary, is a compilation album. Disc 1 features hit singles from various artists, while Disc 2 offers a special selection of seven unreleased tracks and B-sides.
To celebrate this release, a special Arts & Crafts 10th anniversary website has been launched, featuring content such as the label's founding story and full track previews for Disc 2. A giveaway campaign, linked with Twitter, is also currently underway on the site.
