description:We are a new breed of record label. Well in fact we don\ like to be called a record label if the truth be known. We like to think of ourselves as a music marketing business. You see in this day and age musicians, solo artist and bands alike don\ need a record contract as such to get their music \"out there\". OK having the financial clout of a big label behind you is an advantage, but you have to pay back every penny these labels lend you, and then they split greedily what is left to their advantage. Times are a changing and here at OWACM we have set up what we feel is a new beginning for artists and bands who want the \"security\" of being signed, without need to sell their soul to the devil. If you think we are what you want, contact us. But beware, even though we aren\ the big bad corporate label, we still have standards and expect music that is submitted to us for consideration be of a high standard and that the artists themselves are prepared to present themselves in a professional manner.

description:Established in 1998 by the Super Furry Animals, Placid Casual retains an amateur status and an a&r policy of blatant nepotism. We exist to expose to the world (when we can be bothered), songs that come our way that may be ignored otherwise. We would rather concentrate on making our own music, but if a tune comes along and knocks us out we are compelled by the power of the music to bring you these records on a placid, casual basis.

The impetus to start up the label came from two composers with a track record in music production (Ian Lawson and Ben Heneghan), and the organization Cyfansoddwyr Cymru/Composers of Wales.

The inaugural project, in association with CC/CW, is a series of six CDs with the aim of representing as many composers as possible, making the set an unprecedented snapshot of musical creativity in Wales today.

Underpinning Welsh Contemporary is a recording facility managed by Andrew Lawson. It is ideally equipped for acoustic recordings in the studio or on location.

In a change of direction following a fulfilling career in special education, Fiona Lawson has taken on the role of label manager.
