Cooking Vinyl announces four new signings
By Chris Cooke | Published on Friday 31 January 2014
London-based independent Cooking Vinyl has just announced new deals with Röyksopp and the newly-formed Ali-Campbell-Astro-Mickey-Virtue version of UB40. Meanwhile the company’s Australian business has signed a licensing deal with Calling All Cars, and a services deal with Kate Miller-Heidke, who has funded her fourth long player via a Pledge campaign.
Confirming the deals, Cooking Vinyl chief Martin Goldschmidt told CMU: “I’m thrilled to see Ali Campbell join with his brothers Astro and Mickey in order to record and tour as UB40, and look forward to a new album from them. Added to this, we get to work with the fantastic Röyksopp whilst [our Australian team] continue to sign quality local and international acts to CV Australia, meaning that 2014 is already shaping up to be an amazing year for Cooking Vinyl”.
Meanwhile Stu Harvey at CV Australia added: “Kate Miller-Heidke and Calling All Cars are both compelling artists and we have two brilliant albums ready to go. For Kate, she’s embarking on a completely different venture this time round, having written so much of her record and enjoying complete control over how it came together. We’re also really looking forward to taking the guys from CAC’s music to an international audience”.
