Fika Recordings is an English independent record label founded in London in 2011 by Tom Ashton. [1] [2] [3]

It mostly releases indie pop, indie rock, and folk. The label has put out music by artists like Darren Hayman, Randolph's Leap, Stanley Brinks, and Steven Adams. [4] [5] [6] [7]

Since 2018 the label has run a yearly series of concerts held in London called The Winter Sprinter, after its previously having been helmed by Fortuna Pop! and The Track & Field Organisation. [8] [9] For 2025 Fika enlisted both previous custodians to collaborate on that year's lineup to commemorate 25 years of the event. [10]

On 2 April 2025 Anglo-Australian indie pop band Allo Darlin' released their first song in 9 years, "Tricky Questions", with the label. Then on 7 May they released a second, "My Love Will Bring You Home", and announced that their fourth album, Bright Nights, would be released in the UK on 11 July by Fika. [11]
