| During the early ‘90s, when alternative rock acts from Chicago like Liz Phair and the Smashing Pumpkins generated plenty of buzz, this little indie label began to issue a prolific series of releases that would help define the term post-rock. Bettina Richards started putting out albums in 1993, introducing the world to genre-blending groups like Tortoise and The Sea and Cake. The label refuses to be typecast; in the ensuing decade, a variety of artists like the punk band The Nerves, the experimental electronic trio Radian and local jazz legend Fred Anderson have all found a home here. Thrill Jockey continues to support more established groups (Tortoise’s fifth album, “It’s All Around You,” came out in April 2004), while simultaneously searching for new talent, like the Viennese free-improv group Trapist.
