Best of Acéphale Records

Specializing in records with inventive packaging—released in tantalizingly limited numbers—the mysterious indie micro-label Acéphale emerged in the late '00s and quickly became the go-to imprint for innovative dream-pop and electronica bands. Some initially tagged Acéphale as a chillwave label, but as they signed artists like Elite Gymnastics, it became clear that they cannot be pigeonholed.
