4AD is an independent record label that makes up part of Beggars Group along with Matador Records, Rough Trade and XL Recordings. It was started in 1979 by Ivo Watts-Russell and Peter Kent, and funded by Beggars Banquet Records, so that partnership goes back some time.

Currently 4AD's roster includes Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti, Iron & Wine, Blonde Redhead, Bon Iver, Camera Obscura, Deerhunter, The National, and Scott Walker, but their back catalog includes some crazy cool stuff like the Pixies, The Birthday Party and (our hometown favourites) GusGus.

Dive in and enjoy!
