Tree Machine Records is an independent record label out of Bloomington, Indiana. It was founded in the summer of 2010 by students at Indiana University working to sign new artists and expand Tree Machine's outreach. It follows no specific genre and has connected with artists across the globe. Notable artists include Living Hour, !mindparade, co-manager Eazy, Blimp Rock, Jon Dice, Vows, and Living Body. The first production under the label, was co-signed to Gulcher Records and has since received instant recognition in the underground, indie rock world, helping with the founding and early progression of the label.
The label is now co-managed across the Atlantic in both Johannesburg, South Africa and Bloomington, Indiana in the U.S. The genre focus is mostly eclectic with a balance between diverse indie rock and experimental electronic music.
