Independiente is a British independent record label formed in 1997 after Andy Macdonald sold his first label Go! Discs to PolyGram in 1996 for a reported £30 million. The label, which is currently dormant, is a division of Concord Music.[1]
The label's catalogue included albums by Travis, John Martyn, Nile, Gomez, Embrace, Paul Weller and Martina Topley-Bird. In December 2013, it was confirmed that Embrace had signed to Cooking Vinyl, leaving Independiente with no current artists on its roster.[2] The label ceased releasing music by new artists in 2009 and has subsequently transformed itself into a profitable synchronisation business, sourcing opportunities in film and advertising for its catalogue.
The label saw a considerable amount of success in the late 1990s and early 2000s with the Travis album The Man Who being cited as the 25th biggest selling album in the UK,[3] and their follow up The Invisible Band in 2001, along with Out of Nothing, Embrace's UK number one comeback album released in September 2004. Embrace's follow-up album This New Day also debuted at number one, becoming the band's third number one album.[4]
