record label based out ofSeattle, Washington , known for its roster of reissue projects, and for its distribution catalog.History
Light In The Attic started out as the brain-child of co-owner Matt Sullivan, whose plan was to release reissues while also cultivating the careers of new talent. The dot-com boom of the 90s helped fund his musical schemes.
Sullivan started out producing live shows for independent bands such as Interpol and
Saul Williams ; these events brought the label critical acclaim within Seattle. But the goal was always to be a record label first and a production company second; profits from concert production provided funds for the company to begin releasing music from signed artists.Eventually, Light In The Attic won a reissue deal with pop-psych band
