In 2010, a Wales-based Serein label made a move from a free digital-only distribution to physical compact disc pressings. The two releases by Nest and Olan Mill received global critical acclaim, and were both featured in Headphone Commute’s Best of 2010 lists. In 2011 the label is trying something different, concentrating all of the efforts on just four releases, collectively titled the Seasons 2011. The series is limited to 500 limited pressings on heavyweight vinyl and housed in hand numbered outer sleeves. With one record per season (Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter), the label curates EPs by Colorlist, Donato Wharton, Nest and Hauschka. In this Label Special we profile all four and more. Hope you enjoy…
