20 years ago this Saturday, Barsuk Records was birthed into our collective music conscious and became a hallmark institution for indie rock in the Northwest and beyond. 15. Jesse Sykes & the Sweet Hereafter - Reckless Burning (2003 // bark030). It was a harrowing road the led David Bazan to Strange Negotiation.
Matthew Caws, singer of the US Nada Surf band performs during the Benicassim international music festival (FIB), one of Europe's biggest annual music gatherings, on July 17, 2008 in Benicasim.
For starters, it marked 10 years of some of the label’s biggest releases-Death Cab for Cutie’s massive Transatlanticism, The Long Winters’ When I Pretend to Fall, Nada Surf’s Let Go and Jesse Sykes & the Sweet Hereafter’s Reckless Burning. The album represented a bit of a rebirth for the New York band, which was expected to fizzle out after the one-off success of Popular in the ‘90s.
