About Us
Bedroom Community is an Icelandic record label/collective formed in 2006 by Valgeir Sigurðsson, with Nico Muhly and Ben Frost, later adding Sam Amidon, Daníel Bjarnason and Puzzle Muteson to the intimate roster.
Like-minded, yet diverse individuals from different corners of the globe who all creatively orbit around an inconspicuous building and its inhabitants on the outskirts of Reykjavik Iceland- Greenhouse Studios where the music is mostly created.
Bedroom Community (the story according to the press*)
"The best record label in the whole of Iceland and maybe even the entire world."
"The Bedroom Community family is growing, but the standards are as high as ever."
"The Icelandic label Bedroom Community is home to a staggering micro-climate of musicians. Their organic suites of music can be by turns beautiful and dangerous, with a musical palate shifting from gentle and airy to overpowering and texturally dense."
"Bedroom Community has a history of releasing particularly off-kilter juxtapositions of sound."

Demo Policy
We are generally not looking for demo submissions, due to the simple fact that we already have a roster that needs all our attention and energy.
Keeping this in mind, you are welcome to send demos to us, just remember that Bedroom Community is a collective of a close-knit group of individuals and as such we have enough music that we need to put out already. But we try to give everything we receive a listen because we respect your effort in sending us your music, and well... you never know. However, we cannot promise a response, but rest assured that If we like something enough to release it you will hear back from us. In the meantime, here are some helpful tips to keep in mind when sending your music: We prefer demos on CDs, put the name of the project and your contact info directly on the demo so we know how to find you if we need to. You can also email us a link to a website containing MP3 files, but please don't send emails with attachments. Choose only 2-4 'key tracks', it's not necessary to send a full album to begin with. Compile what you feel best represents what you're doing and send that. If you send a full length record or a long compilation, it's helpful to highlight a couple tracks for suggested listening.
We hope you are interested in Bedroom Community as a label in itself, not just a random label that might release your own music. So buy our releases and listen to what we do, take some time and read about our label and the artists behind it, just like you'd hope that others would do if you were on the label. Don't waste your time nor ours on sending us music that obviously has no aesthetic relationship to what we do here.
