How Omnian Music Group Operates

Omnian Music Group runs A&R across its constituent labels from its Brooklyn headquarters. The group provides infrastructure, press, and label services for its constituent labels, allowing them to maintain distinct curatorial identities while sharing backroom services. Distribution flows through an independent distribution network. The group's strength is its shared services model, which gives its constituent labels the infrastructure of a larger organization while preserving their independent curation.

Why It Matters for Independent Artists

If you make indie rock, indie pop, or psychedelic music, Omnian Music Group is a respected Brooklyn independent label group that provides infrastructure for its constituent labels. Its shared services model gives artists the infrastructure of a larger organization while preserving the curatorial identity of individual labels like Captured Tracks.

Drawbacks and Things to Consider

• Highly selective: Omnian Music Group signs very few artists each year.
• No unsolicited demos: Omnian Music Group does not accept cold submissions.
• Indie aesthetic: The group has a distinct indie rock and pop aesthetic. Music outside that aesthetic will not fit.
• Group structure: Omnian's shared services model means deal structures may involve the group rather than just an individual label.

Deal Structures

Omnian Music Group operates a shared services model that supports its constituent labels, with Captured Tracks as the most prominent imprint. Deal structures flow through the individual label (such as Captured Tracks) rather than the group level, but the group provides infrastructure, press, and label services. The group offers traditional recording deals for album projects, with releases on vinyl (LP and 7" formats), CD, and digital. The Lemon Twigs have released three albums through Captured Tracks (Everything Harmony in 2023, A Dream Is All We Know in 2024, and Look For Your Mind! in 2026), indicating multi-album relationships rather than single-release deals. The group also handles digital-only releases (such as girlpuppy's Sweetness Deluxe, catalog number CT381DIGITALDLX) and limited edition physical runs. Distribution flows through an independent network, with physical products sold through the Captured Tracks store and digital releases on streaming platforms. The group does not appear to offer 360 deals or distribution-only agreements. Press and contact is handled centrally through rachel@omnianmusicgroup.com.

How Artists Get Signed

Omnian Music Group does not accept unsolicited demos. The group signs artists through A&R scouting and industry referrals, focusing on indie rock, indie pop, psychedelic, and dream pop identities. The signing process typically begins when A&R representatives discover artists through live performances, music press, or recommendations from existing roster artists and industry contacts. Artists should build a strong independent profile first, with a clear artistic identity and a body of work that fits the Captured Tracks aesthetic. The group signs very few artists each year, and the current roster includes approximately 18 artists across the Captured Tracks imprint (including The Lemon Twigs, girlpuppy, Widowspeak, Juan Wauters, GIFT, THUS LOVE, JayWood, Becca Mancari, Wild Nothing, and others). The group's commitment to long-term artist development is evident in its release schedule, with artists like Widowspeak releasing eight albums on Captured Tracks since 2011 and The Lemon Twigs releasing three albums since 2023. Submitting through a manager, agent, or music lawyer is the most realistic path to being considered.
