When Negativland resurrected the Seeland label many years ago in the wake of leaving SST Records, a bunch of unknown groups of noisemakers and musicians began to approach us about putting their CDs out on our label. Having a great distributor but not much money to press CDs with - even our own - and having left a label in large part because we fundamentally disagreed with the industry-standard practice of the label owning a band's record “in perpetuity," this presented a problem: How to help weird bands doing weird interesting stuff, without financing or owning their work?
Our answer was to offer a Seeland catalog number and access to our retail and digital distribution to those few bands that both a) we really liked, and b) could afford to finish, press, and promote their own CDs. Seeland holds the artists hand throughout this process, and keeps just a few percent of sales to cover the cost of handling the money. The rest goes to the bands, and all rights to the music stay with the artist.
