Lay Bare Recordings Celebrates 10th Anniversary
Hey, I like good news. That’s part of the reason you see so many album announcements around here. Most of life is nasty, brutish, short, really really hard and/or affected in some detrimental way by climate change, so if you can put yourself into a position of looking forward to something, how is that not worth it? Dutch imprint Lay Bare Recordings in celebrating its 10th anniversary has new preorders up for Mojo and the Kitchen Brothers, and that’s kind of cool on the thing-coming-up tip, and there’s a sale and a new Rrrags coming, but the point here is really to celebrate the passing of a decade since Désirée Hanssen founded the label in 2013.
Not an easy decade for a record label to survive, and that’s before you get to the two-plus plague years worked into it. In a crowded, one might argue saturated, market, a label has to be flexible, to promote all the time, to always be working on the next thing, and to try to capture fickle attentions of a listenership while still keeping one’s passion in check and releasing something you love. I don’t envy the task, and I wake up at four o’clock every morning to write about riffs. Take that little bit of context and sit with it a while.
Heartfelt congratulations to Hanssen on the milestone, and here’s hoping for many more to come. 52 releases in 10 years is an accomplishment.

“Mojo & the Kitchen Brothers is a 5-headed omnium gatherum of eclectically inspired music freaks from Belgium cooking up a late 60’s early 70’s mix of heavy progrock soaked in psychedelia. Catchy tunes, proggy riffs, deafening drums, roaring basslines and spacy, triple-guitar jams take you on a journey through the limbo between past and present.”
