Exciting new release!

Out now: ‘The Great Escape’, the lead single from the forthcoming compilation Tape Excavation. SR2 is the collaborative project of Bruce Licher and Karen Nielsen Licher - for the past few years the couple has created immersive textural sounds playing uniquely strung electric twelve-string guitars using a solfeggio tuning.

Thinking about treating yourself to exquisite-looking vinyl? We’re pleased to announce that the LP version of last year’s Exploratorium album is finally here! Out on 31st March, this version of the well-received selection of Bruce Licher’s immersive solo recordings comes in a numbered edition of 600 clear vinyl copies, featuring gorgeous postcard inserts placed in a glassine envelope sealed with a special Exploratorium sticker we’ve made for the occasion.

Out now: the expanded reissue of Exploratorium, solo ambient guitar home recordings by Savage Republic, Scenic and Independent Project Records founder Bruce Licher. His mission is an exploration of sound that feels scientific and transcendental at the same time, and reclaims equal fondness for the natural and the industrial.
Hit play, sit back, and surrender to a most hypnotic sonic trip.

We’re so excited for this!

Out now: Savage Republic’s Africa Corps Live at The Whisky A-Go-Go December 30th 1981.

This riveting, previously unreleased archival gem is ready to catapult listeners in front of one of L.A.’s most iconic stages, back when a young band of UCLA students (Bruce Licher, Mark Erskine, Philip Drucker and Jeff Long), by then still called Africa Corps, was starting to make its way in the punk underground.
Will you join them?
