Scarlett Johansson Among Federal Prism's New Signings

Federal Prism's Dave Sitek and Jeff Bowers today announced a new round of signings to the label.

"When I'm walking around this flat earth, I've got 50 moods, and I need a song or album for all them," said Sitek. "We're not trying to do one thing, and drawing on the inspiration of Motown, we want to do everything in house and fill people's heads, turntables and other devices with music from many of the great artists out there."

In the coming year Federal Prism will release music from Dave Sitek as well as Blkhrts, Cerebal Ballzy, CSS, Daniel Higgs, Freddie Gibbs, Genuflex, Holly Miranda,Kelis, who Sitek is currently in the studio producing two albums, Maximum Balloon, Oh Land, Priscilla Ahn, Scarlet Johansson,Stardeath and the White Dwarves, Tearist, TV On The Radio, and more. (List of configurations can be found below). Federal Prism will also partner with The Cool Kids' Chuck Inglish on his new label Sounds Like Fun, and will release an upcoming single and solo album from him later this this year.

"The best thing Dave ever said to me was that only velocity could save us. He was talking about music industry and the idea that waiting forever for someone to say yes would ultimately kill our very best ideas," said Federal Prism partner Jeff Bowers. "In less than six months we have created a roster that might take other labels a decade to build. "
