<h1 class="MsoNormal">Who We Are</h1>
Hidden Shoal is an Australia-based independent publisher and label conceived in May 2006. The core label team have extensive backgrounds in the Australian and international music scenes, and most importantly have an intense passion for good music, no matter its style. Our approach has earned us a reputation for releasing exciting and engaging new independent music that is not bound by genre.

Hidden Shoal was chosen as one of Textura magazine’s favourite labels, has been dubbed “This generation’s 4AD” by prominent New York radio host DJ Mojo, and has been described by The Mountain Goats’ frontman John Darnielle as “one of the great wonders of our age”.

Since the label’s inception we have prided ourselves on our diverse and lovingly curated catalogue of music. The artists we work with constantly inspire and surprise us. We only work with the music we love, the music we’d fervently listen to regardless of our connection with it.
We provide a co-operative support framework for our artists to release their work, while allowing them to retain 100% of their retail sales. We also act as publisher for their music and actively pursue publishing and licensing opportunities on their behalf. Along with the more traditional paths we are also constantly looking for new ways to telescope our artists music into new arenas.
