Canadian record label
Record label
Latent Recordings is a Canadian independent record label founded in 1981. It was dormant in the 1990s while the Cowboy Junkies were signed to American labels, but began to release independently produced albums in the 2000s. By the late 2000s, it sold downloads and CDs online.
History
The label was formed in London by Michael Timmins, Alan Anton, Geoff Railton, and Brett Wickens to produce and distribute their music. After their first three releases, they returned to Canada, where Timmins and Anton formed Cowboy Junkies with Timmins' siblings Margo and Peter.
In Toronto, the label distributed Cowboy Junkies' first two albums before the band signed with RCA , which re-released The Trinity Session Peter Moore .
After Cowboy Junkies was released from their record contract—by then with Geffen Records — following their 1998 album Miles from Our Home Zoë Records in the United States and Strange Fruit Records in the UK , for international release.
In recent years, the label has again become active in releasing work by other artists as well, including Ivy Mairi, Finlayson/Maize , Jerry Leger , Lee Harvey Osmond and Huron .
