ARTISTRY & DISTINCTION IN RECORD-MAKING
SINCE 1980
ANNOUNCING THE 40TH ANNIVERSARY EXPANDED EDITION OF SAVAGE REPUBLIC’S DEBUT ALBUM
TRAGIC FIGURES
Welcome to the world’s first (and only) post-punk-industrial-trance-psychedelic-surf album!
The fact that it took us so many adjectives to describe Tragic Figures lets you know just how unique of an album it is. The LP brings to mind aspects of PiL, Can, Faust, Flipper, Einstürzende Neubauten, Rhys Chatham and Glenn Branca, but really sounds like no one else before or since.
Independent Project Records has collaborated with Real Gone Music on this very special expanded version of Savage Republic’s Tragic Figures LP, complete with an entire second album of mostly previously unreleased recordings taped in 1981. Copies of both the Deluxe Limited Edition Double LP and Double CD are now available in the IPR shoppe.

This first release of Independent Project Records’ 2021 relaunch offers a fresh look at four decades of the creative musical underground that IPR founder Bruce Licher has celebrated since his label’s inception in 1980. Now in the 21st century Licher has teamed up with fellow musician Jeffrey Clark to co-create a new era of IPR releases that more deeply explore this rich heritage. These two creative collaborators have compiled this collection, an expansive sonic experience of diverse musical genres. With all of the enclosed tracks united by their keen intuitive clarity, this music is sometimes raw, sometimes refined, and what we love about it the most is that it is always REAL, and always reaching deep into the source of meaning for humanity.
NEW RELEASES
HALF STRING
A Fascination With Heights
Half String’s A Fascination With Heights gets a special reissue treatment by Independent Project Records with this newly remastered and expanded version of the band’s first and only full-length release. Filled with beautiful melodies and harmonies, alternately hard-edged and chiming guitars, Heights reveals Half String at their peak in 1995 churning out well crafted songs and their brand of ‘beautiful noise’. Jack Rabid, writing in The Big Takeover has said, "'Shell Life' and especially 'Departures' set Half String off as the finest from the pack of American bands who've heard their share of U.K. post-Valentine pop-noises...
