Big Round Records

Big Round Records is dedicated to presenting world-class musicians doing what they do best: smash the walls of genre and create groundbreaking new sounds while keeping one foot firmly rooted in tradition. Overdriven bassoons, orchestra-backed swing groups, blues-inflected Zydeco, outlandish arrangements of Disney songs, and modern-protest tunes is just a small slice of what you’ll hear on our releases, which feature some of today’s most forward-thinking and respected artists such as John Hall (Orleans), Steve Gadd, Andy Jaffe, Eddie Gomez, Tony Oxley, Charlie Barnett, Richard Stoltzman, Tony Clef, Mika Yoshida, and many more. Out of the box? With Big Round, there is no box.

THIS YESTERDAY WILL NEVER END

  • Hailing from Brooklyn NY, Hawk and Dove is an indie rock band whose calm-before-the-storm sound has been described as the "loudest quiet band you have ever heard" and "the psychedelic country David Bowie never wrote." On their forthcoming debut album, THIS YESTERDAY WILL NEVER END, the band mixes hauntingly beautiful ballads with thunderous stoner grooves to create a sound quite unlike anything else.
