PIAS Brings Back Source Label With Fresh Roster
The indie powerhouse behind Air and Phoenix is back in business.
PIAS just dusted off Source, the Anglo-French label that birthed some serious catalog over the years. We're talking the outfit that broke Air, Phoenix, and Kings of Convenience — names that still move the needle in alternative and indie circles.
The relaunch isn't just nostalgia flex. They're bringing heat with a new generation of artists: Ifulki, Disgusting Sisters, Epal, and HINA make up the first wave of signings. That's a mixed bag of sounds and energy — exactly what you want to see when a label comes back.
What This Means
Source was real in its run. Now PIAS is betting there's space to rebuild something meaningful with it. Whether this sticks or becomes another label resurrection story depends on A&R instincts and artist development. The names they've pulled in suggest they're thinking serious, not just chasing a brand.
Worth watching how this plays out over the next few drops.
