The Normative Music Company

Relentless. Uncompromising. Larger than life. Watch closely -- or from a safe distance -- as Francis Starlite detonates his vision on an increasingly ambitious scale.

A hacked NES (ca. 1985) is the nucleus of Anamanaguchi's completely fresh sound. The world may seem like it's falling apart, but these exuberant young men know the truth: we're simply rocketing into a glorious, hypercolor future.

You've never heard anything like their new album, even if you're one of the 50k fans who downloaded their first EP.

Cancel your routines and melt into a world of infinite possibilities with Reggie Watts, the spellbinding vocal artist whose improvised songs delight audiences internationally. Normative is proud to release his first 7" vinyl single, Pot Cookies, a psychedelic ode to his favorite snack. Flip it over for Lumberjack Trousers, as he channels a paranoid Brit falling in love with an aloof barista. Both songs are multi-layered acapella improvisations, just like his live shows and videos.

Childhood friends Nick and Eric realized college was a death trap, dropped out, moved deep into Brooklyn, and started writing songs about defiance and youthful jubilance.

Still in their first year, they've released a free EP (We Are Vultures), a Muxtape single, and their newest piece, the You There / Madison vinyl 7". The first side makes you shake your ass; the second, nod your head and trip out. Climb aboard while they're still obscure!
