Acute Records

Acute Records is the result of one man's labor of love. That man is Daniel Seltzer, who formed the label to re-release and disseminate information about some of his favorite records. His focus is on late '70s and early '80s No Wave, post-punk, and art-rock. Seltzer's label is distributed by Carpark Records.

Glenn Branca
With No Wave clatter and relentlessly gushing crescendos, Glenn Branca's compositional indulgence are responsible for some of the most awe-inspiring music of the past few decades.

Theoretical Girls
One of the most significant but least recorded bands of the late '70s New York no wave scene, the Theoretical Girls were a confrontational blitzkrieg of harsh atonal rhythms, abrasive pure noise, rendered with oblique humor. The band launched the careers of experimental composer Glenn Branca and acclaimed producer Wharton Tiers.
