Ned Raggett of THE SHFL takes a look at the history of Independent Project Records and offers a guide to 20 of the label's beloved releases!


“The reactivated IPR has focused on an even more extensive series of detailed reissues, not merely of the label’s own wider work but that of likeminded artists who existed contemporaneously on related labels in the 1980s and 1990s such as the Ophelias, along with further reissues from Shiva Burlesque progenitor acts like Torn Boys and Afterimage. At the same time, besides [founder Bruce] Licher putting out some new recordings, he has also showcased new work by Camper Van Beethoven mainstay Greg Lisher, guitarist/dancer Alison Clancy, the returning Woo and even Bauhaus and Love and Rockets veteran David J. In all cases Licher’s sense for presentation on CD and vinyl still aims to make them seem like truly distinct, tangible art pieces in a time of streaming, a commitment to sound and style that continues nearly fifty years after IPR’s start.”
