        Sean Borhman and Lee Rickard founded Burger Records in 2007 as a way to release albums by their own band, Thee Makeout Party, but soon discovered they enjoyed releasing their friends’ records even more. Six years later, Burger stands as a testament to the power of pure, boundless enthusiasm about music. All of the bands on Burger bury pop hooks beneath layers of fuzz, and the label feels like a living document of below-the-radar indie rock. It is a multicolored cartoon universe worth getting lost in. more »

From Woody Guthrie to Leadbelly to Elizabeth Cotten, the label is like an aural encyclopedia of what Moses Asch once called “people’s music,” the rough-recorded sound of genres being born and history being made. The songs on this sampler provide an opportunity to walk through the label’s right past. more »
