Dead Oceans
Dead Oceans is an independent record label based jointly in Bloomington, Indiana and Austin, Texas. The label has a small, but powerful roster of well-known acts including Akron/Family, John Vanderslice, Califone, Phosphorescent, Bishop Allen, Casey Dienel's band White Hinterland, Bowerbirds, The Donkeys, and The Tallest Man on Earth.
History
After nearly a decade managing Misra Records, Phil Waldorf jumped ship to form Dead Oceans in 2007. Run side by side with sister labels Secretly Canadian and Jagjaguwar, Dead Oceans is co-owned by the partners behind Secretly Canadian and Jagjaguwar (Ben Swanson, Chris Swanson, Darius Van Arman, Jonathan Cargill) with Phil Waldorf. Dead Oceans shares the Bloomington, Indiana work staff of its sister labels, but Waldorf acts as its A&R from his current location in Austin, Texas. Taken from their official website, the label "will focus on bold and timeless recordings, not emphasizing a particular genre or scene, but instead fostering a diverse stable of sound-creators".

In The Half Light
by: Dead SwansI try to focus on the lines at the side of the road,
Through blacked out windows
I see myself slowly fading away,
When I lock eyes with you,
You only see half of me,
You only see what you have fucking heard,
I keep on trying to burn those fucking pages
But their words have cut so fucking deep
I can only blame myself,
I keep on trying to forget every yesterday
It's killing me to stay here
These worthless nights all lead to nowhere,
I keep on trying to burn those fucking pages
But there words have cut so fucking deep
I can only blame myself
It's killing me to stay here
These worthless nights all lead to nowhere,
It's killing me to stay here
These worthless nights all lead to nowhere,
The glass cracks as I watch the hours falling away from me,
These were the things that I kept to myself
