Service (record label)
Swedish record label
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Service is a Swedish record label founded in 2001 by Ola Borgström together with Dan Lissvik in Gothenburg. Service has released records by, among others, Studio, The Embassy, Franke, Jens Lekman, Erik de Vahl, The Tough Alliance, Lake Heartbeat and Ikons. Service has been called Sweden's most important record label and has, despite its underground character, been influental for music in Sweden and beyond in the 21:st century.
With Jens Lekman's Night Falls Over Kortedala (2007), Service had a number one on the album chart. Other albums by Jens Lekman, The Embassy and The Tough Alliance also charted in the top 20. Kleerup and Robyn's With Every Heartbeat was first released by Service's imprint Risky Dazzle.
The label was awarded the Vice Label Award 2009 for "its spotless catalogue, a strong last year, design that is always the best in our eyes and a fearless approach to online distribution".
In 2012 Borgström announced that the label would stop issuing new material.[1]
