Hot take
Arts & Crafts stands out as an indie record label that goes beyond traditional boundaries, acting as a holistic music company offering label, management, and publishing services. Their ethos is rooted in transparency and real partnership with artists, and they've built a reputation for fostering both creative freedom and community, notably through initiatives like their Record Club. Pricing for fan-focused offerings like the Record Club is competitive, with perks like discounts and catalogue access. However, their artist roster and opportunities are heavily curated, and some offerings—like the Record Club—are currently exclusive to Canadian addresses, which limits accessibility for international fans and artists. Overall, it's a solid bet for artists seeking supportive, forward-thinking indie backing, but don’t expect the global industry muscle of a major label.
