PC Music Signs to Columbia Records, Plans "Multi-Tier Attack Exposing the Radical DNA of Chart Music"

The London collective made a name for itself by hugging the peripheries of pop music—now they're part of one of its biggest institutions.

A major part of PC Music's schtick so far has been manipulating mainstream cultural tropes while remaining on the subcultural periphery, even as various members of the collective have remained adamant about their pop star ambitions. Today, that script was flipped when the label announced on their Facebook that they have signed to Columbia Records, one of the most established major labels on earth. Their debut release for the label will come from Danny L Harle, in the form of his Broken Flowers EP.
