We’re a London-based independent music publisher specialising in electronic and indie, rock and pop music.

What we do comes from being at the intersection between creativity and business services. We like to call it Publishing Logistics – enabling creative people to do what they do best while we take care of the business side of their musical creations (copyrights).

The bedrock of Publishing Logistics is administration for songwriters and other copyright owners – from registering works, collecting royalties, setting up publishing entities for writers and labels, assisting with contractual matters and advising other aspects regarding a writer’s copyrights.

Our creative services are something we’re also very passionate about – including synchronisation, procuring co-writes and co-production work, and other music licensing opportunities.

We pride ourselves on a proactive and innovative approach, with a keen ear for finding great new music and a keen eye for harnessing great new technology.

We’re always on the lookout for new writers, catalogues and music users to work with, so feel to get in touch with us to find out more about what we do and how we may be able to work together.

We’re very pleased to announce the signing of Galapaghost to the Reprise Publishing roster.

Galapaghost is the conception of singer/songwriter/one man arsenal Casey Chandler. Chandler is a recent graduate of SUNY Purchase, which he attended from 2005-2009 and graduated with a bachelor’s degree in Music Production. He hails from the small hippie town of Woodstock, NY where he took his first baby steps towards becoming the musician he has blossomed into today. With no training on any instruments other than saxophone, he quickly picked up the bass when he was 14. Then moved onto guitar a year later and began singing and writing songs. Soon after, he developed a passion for the recording and production aspect of things, thus taking an internship in high school at a recording studio. After the internship, he had discovered his passion and was accepted into the Music Production program at SUNY Purchase. After graduating, he then moved to New York City for 6 months in 2009 and released his first two EP’s entitled “Our Lost Generation” & “Neptunes”. He has played many shows out in New York City clubs and bars. After growing immensely jaded about New York as a whole, he decided to move to Austin, TX in July 2010, which he now calls his home. Shortly after arriving in Austin, Chandler recorded his 3rd EP entitled “Runnin’”. This will be his last EP. Chandler writes, produced, records, mixes, and masters all of his songs entirely by himself. His song writing is predominantly, but not limited to indie folk based music, with a focus on ukulele for many of his songs. His song writing pulls from many different influences from Midlake to Simon & Garfunkel to Neil Young to Radiohead. He has recently finished a European tour with John Grant in the summer of 2010 as well as playing a prestigious slot on Later…With Jools Holland in September of 2010. He will be doing a North American headlining tour with John Grant in December of 2010.

We’re very pleased to announce the signing of Evenings to the Reprise Publishing roster.

Virginia student Nathan Broaddus, aka Evenings, recorded his debut EP on his laptop in his dorm room.  The resulting ‘North Dorm EP’ was released in July 2010 for free via Bandcamp and will also get a 7” release through London’s Double Denim Records.

“Evenings’ sleepy electronic instrumentals float out of your speakers, with layered samples and guitars coming together over smartly produced percussion tracks. ‘Friend [Lover]‘ and the EP’s opening track, ‘Still Young’, are particularly good…”CMU

“This EP represents elegant lo-fi electronic beats synched and layered delicately to weave an intricate wave of music that washes over the listener. Naturally relaxing and mellow the record flows into your ears nice and cool like a stream into the brain. Evenings is refreshing and accessible.” Workbook Project

It’s a viewpoint we agree with – the long tail is (pretty much) proven in other areas, so why not licensing? The main question with it is how to make it quick and easy on a practical level – we still haven’t worked that bit out yet.

Incidentally, the author of this post, Gary Shenk, is at a company called Greenlight Rights in LA – they do all sorts of rights representation, from Andy Warhol to the London Eye, and music is just one of their specialities. An interesting business model indeed….
