Posh Isolation 2009-2025
Port Out, Starboard Home

Today, 16 years ago, we started Posh Isolation and today we say goodbye!

It’s been 16 years, what a life! Never thought it was going to be around for this long! It’s been 297 releases and now it’s someone else’s turn + we don’t even know what being a record label in 2025 means! No more releases, no more mailorder, no more demos! Look at how absolutely tired we look! But thank you for everything, it has been so great!

Thanks to all the artists for your trust and beautiful work! Thank you to all the listeners for sticking around and for all the support, hearts are full! Thank you thank you thank you!

We are still here all of us, making music together and perhaps by putting the label to sleep Posh can be what it always was most of all: a working collective.

We are doing two events in Copenhagen to bid you farewell and to say thank you! Hope you can make it!

New album by Vanessa Amara out today!

Posh Isolation is proud to present ”cafe LIFE”, the new album by Vanessa Amara.

A culmination of the Danish duo’s exploration of chamber pop sensibility and modern textural liquidation. Always moving, parsley farcical, and immensely unique, Vanessa Amara delivers an incomparable divagation into contemporary music productions.

At some point last year my phone stopped charging. Looking it up, I figured it could be an accumulation of lint gathered in the USB-port blocking the connection. I removed the lint and the phone could charge again. This felt like a clear metaphor for, as well as a reminder of, the importance of reproductive work in life and in love. I kept the note “The Lint of Our Love” as a promising phrase to be sung. A while later, we were working on a chord progression, reorganised from a composition for pipe organ by Danish composer Pelle Gudmundsen-Holmgreen. I was looking for vocals to accompany the track, when I found this faint rhythm bleeding through an almost studio acapella of an Akon song. When Sebastián heard it, he started dancing, like making these floor sweeping motions along with the filtered remains of the beat and it very elegantly drew forth lines between the lint of our love and closing down the café for the day.

Thanks to the music of Joan Armatrading for turning a bunch of diss tracks into a bunch of love songs. We hope the music, the words and the feeling can work as a gesture towards a shared experience of living a life.
