Official press release:
HISTORY:
Uniform Group was founded in 2017 by Chirstopher Royal King and Jonathan Slade and is based in Los Angeles, CA and Austin, TX. King and Slade have worked in their own, and shared, capacities to propagate Austin’s DIY experimental music community while simultaneously being some of its most notable participants, respectively.
King‘s own Light Lodge Records acted as an initianl focal point from 2009 to 2011, releasing the first singles, EP’s, and 12″s from Pure X, S U R V I V E and Sleep∞Over, among others. In 2012 Light Lodge merged with HOLODECK (that Slade was a co-founder and operator of from 2012-2015) which carried the sonic-torch of giving a unified voice to an essential component of Austin’s burgeoning independent scene and beyond, releasing the likes of Ssleeperhold, Marie Davidson, S U R V I V E, Troller, BOAN, as well as both King & Slade‘s solo projects Symbol and Silent Land Time Machine.
VISION:
By interfacing visual and aural vibrations with pre-existent electronic neural networks, both organic and inorganic, Uniform Group is able to produce and provide independent, relevant, sincere physical and nonphysical experiential-products that improve the connectivity of subject and object as well as the mutual-interrelatedness between individual social-units and their shared environments.
INTENTIONALITY:
With a shared interest in dystopia, societal decay, and philosophy, as well as penchants for unconventional aesthetic structures, both visual and aural, King & Slade sought to found Uniform Group as a new entity with a more delimited geographical and pyschographical focus; a circle whose center is everywhere and whose circumference is nowhere.
