Numero Group


From Numero Group

the Numero Group, Founded by Tom Lunt, Rob Sevier, and Ken Shipley in 2003, decided to approach the record business backwards. No corporate hierarchy; no company stationary. Just a big pile of music that no one had ever heard of. Their mission was simple: to dig deep into the recesses of their record collections with the goal of finding the dustiest gems begging to be released from their exile on geek street.

A shelf of Numero discs feels less like a "record collection" and more like a library. The library to date is a mix of thrift shop soul, skinny tie pop, Belizean funk, and hillbilly gospel. Numero makes records for people who may have everything from indigenous Central American drumming to Canadian chanteuses stacked next to their CD players. Check out their f-ing delicious catalog.
