Label GB

Lex Records is an independent music label that was established in 2001 by Tom Brown. Originally a hip-hop focused imprint of Warp Records, Lex quickly expanded its scope and began releasing full albums from artists such as Boom Bip and Non-Prophets. Over time, Lex developed its own roster of long-term artists, including Danger Mouse, Boom Bip, Fog, and Subtle. In 2005, Lex became a fully independent label when it was sold by Warp to Tom Brown. Despite the split, Lex continues to receive support from Warp's distribution channels.

The label has gained recognition for its unique approach to music releases and its commitment to supporting emerging talent. With a diverse range of genres represented on their roster, Lex Records has become known for pushing boundaries and challenging traditional industry norms.

Through partnerships with distribution platforms like Warpmart and Bleep, Lex has been able to reach a wider audience and continue sharing groundbreaking music with the world. Their catalogue numbers have become iconic within the industry, with certain numbers remaining unused as documented in Rob Young's book 'Warp'.

zzzahara (They/Them) is the solo moniker of Eyedress/Simps/U.S. Velvet guitarist Zahara Jaime. Plenty of people come to Los Angeles looking to make their California dreams a reality. But zzzahara has always been here, turning reality into a dream. Born and raised in Highland Park, where they still reside, zzzahara has witnessed both gang-blighted and gentrified L.A. along the same geographical blocks. Like the transforming city itself, zzzahara has undergone massive personal changes.

"Tender is a journey of feeling emotional and learning to show kindness to all the rough parts of love," zzzahara says about the album. "From monotonous dates, relationship failures, vulnerability and ultimately gentleness for yourself, this album is a recollection of how fast life moves and how living in the moment can be tender yet rugged. I placed my baggage down and left it on the floor so I could smile and laugh like everyone else. I locked myself in my studio and just let the guitar riffs speak from a place of coldness, fire and tenderness. Most of the lyrics are free-styled. My buddy Jannick Frampton produced three tracks, and the rest of the record is produced by me. It was the first time I trusted myself to write most of the music. This record made me put my life into perspective as an artist. It's something I'll never forget." - zzzahara
