Slothtrop Music was founded in 1995 to promote and nurture independent musicians. By all accounts we've succeeded. Since then we've expanded to four divisions (Records, Publishing, Management & Consulting) and helped hundreds of artists while at the same time putting out some pretty great music. Take a look around, we're sure you'll find something you'll love!

Perrin Crane's first national release "A Big Long Look" is strong example of understated production. Playing all the instruments himself Perrin has crafted some of the best songs you'll hear this year. While he might take a lo-fi approach his songwriting is anything but simple. Garnering comparisons to Carol King, Neil Diamond, and Bob Gaudio he has taken his almost obsessive focus on melody and developed his own style. While there might be more then a little bit of Beat writer comparisons for this San Francisco based musician, this record is absolutely original.
”Gorgeous Hussies” is possibly the most inaccurate way to describe the members of the Utah based band The Gorgeous Hussies; this group of (nearly all) married and burly-bearded musicians has been touring throughout the west for the past three-years. Slothtrop Music is pleased to present their initial full length national release “Sweet Surrealistic Queen”. It's a sonic trip through a musical landscape of melting clocks and dancing eardrums. While it's not exactly DADA, we're certainly GAGA for these Hussies!
We're excited to tell you about the third Slothtrop Release from Reno, Nevada's Mister Vague. The original Insensitive Singer/Songwriter returns to his hardcore roots with "Not Lost" an Intellectual bombast as smooth as bleach bottle aged rock gut whisky. Recorded at indie rock Mecca Smart Studios in Madison, WI and mixed by Mr.Mike Zirkel. It contains probably the finest song ever written about the ancient evils of maritime Morse code. Seriously!
