According to the label's website "Placid Casual retains an amateur status and an a&r policy of blatant nepotism. We exist to expose to the world (when we can be bothered), songs that come our way that may be ignored otherwise." [1] The Independent has described the label as an "enterprise run by passion not for profit". [2]
After founding the label in 1998 in order to release Psycho VII's "Just Another Fun Love Song" [3] , Super Furry Animals released their Welsh language album Mwng on the label in 2000 [4] . They later left to sign with Epic Records. [1]
Gruff Rhys also released his debut solo album, Yr Atal Genhedlaeth , on the label in 2005. [5]
