Barsuk Records ( /bɑːrˈsuːk/ bar-SOOK) is an independent record label based in Seattle, Washington which was founded in 1998 by Christopher Possanza and Josh Rosenfeld, the members of the band This Busy Monster, to release their band's material. [2] Its logo is a drawing of a dog holding a vinyl record in its mouth.

Contents

The name of the label comes from the Russian word барсук[barˈsuk], "badger". [3] However, the label is named after Possanza and Jason Avinger's dog, a black Labrador. [4] The dog can be heard barking in two This Busy Monster tracks: "Song 69" and "Time to Sleep".
