Daydream Library Series & Ecstatic Peace Library Appoint Reed Smidebush To New Artist Liaison

Next Year’s Projects Include Thurston Moore Group, The Fall’s Brix Smith, And Devon Ross

 

17 December 2024 (London, UK) — The Daydream Library Series, a division of Ecstatic Peace Library founded by Thurston Moore and Eva Prinz, are pleased to announce exciting company news today. A decision was reached by Daydream Library Series co-founder, President and CEO Eva Prinz, as stated at an end of the year gathering, that the record label plans to appoint Reed Smidebush as New Artist Liaison effective January 1, 2025. In this role, Reed will actively seek out and review submissions received by emerging artists. 

Eva Prinz also stated the label will cease physical music production starting in 2025 to prioritize eco-friendly digital releases without plastics, and has stated Smidebush will assist new artists in engaging with digital streaming platforms, informing them of the online content contributions, such as music videos, interactive play, and games. 

Prinz also acknowledged that some of the label’s “artists are climate activists and no longer complicit knowing their art recorded to compact discs will sit in landfills taking centuries to decompose.” She encouraged the community to “collect vintage records, and make fewer plastics and new albums. There isn’t any more time to lose. All industries must get behind respecting precious resources of this planet.”

The label’s forthcoming digital releases in 2025 will include new tracks from Devon Ross, Thurston Moore Group and The Fall’s Brix Smith.

The Daydream Library Series record label was founded in 2018 by Thurston Moore and Eva Prinz. Stand out recordings released this year include:

 

DAYDREAM 2024 BREAKTHROUGH ARTIST

“We discovered Devon Ross, of all places, at the Cannes Film Festival, because she is a damn good actress.” In 2024, Devon Ross released her stunning EP ‘Oxford Gardens’. It was a magnificent debut and immediately charted (no. 17) on Billboard’s ‘Tastemaker Albums.’

 

DAYDREAM 2024 DEBUT

“We’re honoured to have spent this year listening to (and mastering and remastering until perfection) the debut album ‘Once Around’ by London band Schande.”

DAYDREAM INTERNATIONAL RELEASE

The year commenced in Miami, Florida with the release of the 7-inch single ‘Enredados’/‘Drop-In’ by bi-lingual (Spanish/English) band Las Nubes.
