An independent record label based in Austin, TX.

Drawing inspiration from oceans, forests and folklore, Vargkvint is the musical project of Stockholm-based multi-artist Sofia Nystrand. After self-releasing her low-key debut-EP Brus in 2016, it was picked up for re-release by French label Soft Recordings the consecutive year, and her first fullength effort, the concept-album Hav was released in April 2019 through Piano And Coffee Records. 
 
Combining evocative melodies and a playful approach to arrangement and instrument usage, Vargkvint’s music falls neatly between the definitions of folk, modern classical, pop and experimental music. She has on several occasions toured internationally, performing at stages such as Q3Ambientfest in Potsdam, Germany, together with her artistic collaborator Jakob Lindhagen

Cymbaline tells a story of losing yourself in a deranged frenzy, only to find yourself back in some twisted reality that bears no resemblance to anything you thought you knew. 

Drawing heavily from the 70s New York scene, Cymbaline brings a sonic mix of raw, psychedelic rock ‘n roll, in the likes of Lou Reed, David Bowie and Patti Smith. However, don’t be surprised if you hear some 60s Flower Power or Jazz somewhere along the way. 

So, stop reading and let them take you on a Tarantino-esque roadtrip, setting the perfect scene for a reflection on all that’s wrong with us kids today.

Sergio Escoda (The Netherlands, 1990) is about as versatile as they come: with a half Spanish, half Dutch background, he is active as a composer, lyricist, multi-instrumentalist, arranger, producer, mixing engineer, educator and more. 
After graduating cum laude with distinction from the Conservatory of Amsterdam in 2016, with keys and bass as his main specializations, Sergio set out on his journey as a studio creative and live performer. He played in well known Dutch bands such as Di-rect, EUT & REINDIER — touring nationally and internationally. Early 2020 he decided to focus primarily on his studio work, composing for games, commercials, film, documentary, theater and cabaret. He works from his own studio in Amsterdam. For Sergio, anything goes — he is not genre bound, and has creations to his name in indie pop to latin music, from electronic to world, rock and experimental.
His goal is to make music accessible, regardless of musical complexity. To him, good music is music that makes sense.

We are an independent record label based in Montréal, releasing experimental music we care about in the most careful ways we can.
