Q. Did Astropop
3 form the Planting Seeds Records label?
A. Although it was erroneously
mentioned in several reviews, Astropop 3 did not form the label. What they did
do was help solidify its foundation, whose roots can be traced back as early as
1996. Planting Seeds Records was officially formed by principal members of Sunday
Smoke Kit in 1998. The label's namesake was taken from a track off of their inaugural
release, The
Hardest Things Are Often The Simplest To Unwind, which, not surprisingly,
is also the first entry of the Planting Seeds Records catalog.
