History

Carpark Records was established by Todd Hyman in 1999 in New York City.[3] In 2005, the label relocated to Washington, D.C.[2]

Carpark has subsidiary labels. Acute Records, established in 2002, reissues obscure post-punk records under the guidance of Dan Selzer. Paw Tracks, established in 2003, releases music by Animal Collective and associated solo acts Avey Tare and Panda Bear.[2] Wax Nine is another partner label.

Company Records, an imprint of Carpark, was established in partnership with Chaz Bear from Toro Y Moi.

In 2015, Carpark held a 16-year anniversary celebration accompanied by a basketball-themed picture disc compilation.[4]
