History

Odd Box was launched in 2009,[2] after the dissolution of earlier imprint Lost Music Records.[3][4] The label has issued a steady and wide-ranging series of albums, EPs and singles since that time including well-received releases by The Wolfhounds,[5][6] Pocketbooks,[7] Sarandon,[8] The Manhattan Love Suicides,[9] Martha,[10] Joanna Gruesome,[11] The Blanche Hudson Weekend[1] and The Ethical Debating Society,[12] as well as other groups such as The Millipedes,[13] The Humms,[14] The Wednesday Club,[15] One Happy Island,[16] The Monorals,[17] The Smittens,[18] Ace Bushy Striptease,[19] Pale Man Made,[20] Tyrannosaurus Dead,[21] Wolf Girl[22] and Giant Burger.[23]

In 2017 Odd Box released the first in a planned series of EPs by The Darling Buds, featuring their first new material for 25 years,[24] and reissued the debut album by Witching Waves, originally released on Soft Power Records.[25] The label ended in 2019.

gollark: <@100383274370617344> I assume it's Alexa the website ranking thing, not Alexa the virtual assistant and spying devices.
gollark: And added a better cooler somehow.
gollark: I wonder how fast it could go if you overclocked it to death.
gollark: At last, I have managed to read my ebooks on a non-Amazon reader and it only took installing Calibre, installing the DeDRM plugin, copying over the folder on my tablet's SD card to my laptop via MTP, importing that, finding out that it recognized the metadata fine but could not actually view the contents, trawling the internet for somewhat dubious old copies of Kindle for PC, installing that in Wine, frantically turning off "automatically update" options before it did something, downloading my books, deregistering old devices because apparently I have a limited amount of devices available per book, downloading the ones which complained, figuring out where the Kindle for PC thing actually saved old books to, running the DeDRM DRM key finding thing, finding that that, not very unexpectedly, didn't work with a Wine install, installing Python 2 in Wine, running the DRM key finding script within the not-really-Windows-install, importing the key into the plugin, and then importing all the book files.
gollark: The newer smaller processes have worse... electromigration or whatever it is... problems.
