Nonesuch President Bob Hurwitz recalls the first time he heard about Pomplamoose: “Brad Mehldau told me over lunch one day about these two extremely cool musicians in the Bay Area that had found a new and original way to get their music out. I looked them up online and the first video I watched was ‘My Favorite Things.’ It was clear they were onto something special.” He continues, “I tried to get in touch with them, to no avail, but my colleague Lenny Waronker, the great producer and executive from Warners, brought us together about a year ago. The minute I heard Nataly’s demos I knew she had an original voice and was someone we would love to have as part of the Nonesuch family.”
Dawn said of her decision to work with Nonesuch: “I can’t tell you how encouraging it is to be working with such passionate and intelligent people. People who care about music, and who are pleasantly old fashioned in the way they deal with artists.”

I saw this video interview with Mike Doughty where he was asking the guy to name any artists post-2002 or so that had real success in the internet age w/o label backing and the guy says "POMPLAMOOSE!" and Doughty rolls his eyes

That level of financial disregard can only stem from an unflinching belief in what you’re creating.

Let me tell you how much it cost: $150,000.

― sriracha bishop (get bent), Saturday, 6 October 2012 01:52 (eleven years ago) link
a $150K recording budget wouldn't be crazily large for a big label artist, even a minor one.
― has important things to say about gangnam style (Hurting 2), Saturday, 6 October 2012 02:06 (eleven years ago) link
at least it wouldn't have been back in the day, i don't know what it's like now.
150K does sound a bit high for an indie release, and it doesn't help that I fucking hate pomplamousse, but if it were an artist I like, maybe that artist is trying to achieve something that costs more money to achieve, and maybe that's worth it. Christ, how much did Steely Dan records cost to make, and were they not worth every penny? I cringe at the idea of them having to crowdfund -- "What the fuck, do these assholes really need like 50 different top studio guys on one record?" YES, they do need it, and they are assholes for it.

i quite enjoy that almost two years on the rolling pomplamoose thread still doesn't have 'pomplamoose' in the title. i personally find it by searching for 'insufferable'.
― Perfect Chicken Forever (Merdeyeux), Saturday, 6 October 2012 03:07 (eleven years ago) link
also i guess someone should tell owen p and other working musicians on that other thread that they have no idea what they're talking about when it comes to funding a career in music. :/

You have no idea how much it costs to make an album, let alone put together a show of the magnitude Amanda is attempting.
Shhhh, no one tell her that Pink Floyd was a thing once.

I like how she neglects to mention that she herself been signed by Nonesuch, who are affiliated with a Major label, and were perhaps more than happy to take this solo album (and financial burden in excelis) off her hot little hands.

Published on Dec 5, 2012 by Jonathan MannYes, it's true folks. Ivory and I are splitting up. It's really sad. I'm really sad. I think you may have been able to tell in some recent songs. It's going to be a hard road ahead for me, but I know that this is the right decision and that eventually we'll both be happier in the end.
