Peski Records is an independent record label and music publisher based in Cardiff, Wales. The label has released records by influential Welsh artists including Cate Le Bon, Gwenno, R Seiliog and Y Pencadlys. ==History== The name Peski derives from the Welsh word 'pesgi', which is normally used to describe farm animals and means 'to fatten'.〔http://translation.babylon.com/english/Pesgi/〕 The name was coined in 2002 when founders Garmon Gruffydd, Rhys Edwards and a childhood friend was strolling on the grounds of St David's Cathedral in the county of Pembrokeshire. Once inside the cathedral, the trio signed the guestbook and Peski Records was born. Peski's first release was Jakokoyak's debut album, ''Am Cyfan Dy Pethau Prydferth'' (2003), which had a distinctive lo-fi experimental electronic music sound with leanings towards psychedelic folk, sometimes classified as folktronica. The album title, ''Am Cyfan Dy Pethau Prydferth'' was taken from a badly translated poster on the walls of the Cardiff Union〔(Peski Records )〕). After quickly selling out of all copies of the album in the UK, it was re-released in Japan in 2004 and was warmly received in Japanese magazines such as Vogue Nippon. After a string of subsequent releases, Jakokoyak supported fellow-countrymen Super Furry Animals on their short tour of Japan and the success enabled Peski to invest in other artists. Over the next few years, the label went on to release records from David Mysterious (real name Cai Strachan), Evils and The Joy Formidable's Rhydian Dafydd (Stiches), before signing Aberystwyth's psychadelic indie pop band Radio Luxembourg in 2007, who had expressed a wish to release 2 EPs before moving on to a London-based record label. After fulfilling their agreement, Radio Luxembourg went on to sign with Fantastic Plastic Records and changed their name in 2009 due to possible legal problems with the radio station of the same name.〔Race Horses (band)〕 Cate Le Bon's first official release came out on Peski in 2008 in the form of a Welsh language EP, ''Edrych yn Llygaid Ceffyl Benthyg'' ("Looking in the Eyes of a Borrowed Horse", similar to the English expression "to look a gift horse in the mouth").〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Peski - About Cate Le Bon )〕 The record features vocal contribution from Euros Childs and Andy Votel, who also designed the vinyl artwork.〔http://www.peski.co.uk/release/367/peski009/edrych-yn-llygaid-ceffyl-benthyg〕 In 2012, Peski began working with R. Seiliog and released his debut EP, "Shuffles".〔http://www.peski.co.uk/release/485/peski018/shuffles-ep〕 R. Seiliog went on to sign a deal with Turnstile Music. During this period, the label began hosting a series of legendary 'Peski Nacht' events on the top floor of Cardiff's Jacobs Antiques building. It was an opportunity to showcase the growing collective of artists on the label as well as bringing influential international artists to perform with them in Cardiff,〔http://www.peski.co.uk/news/605/06-04-2013/p-e-s-k-i-n-c-h-t-0-0-3〕 such as R. Stevie Moore, who is often considered the founding father of DIY Home-Recording, Lo-Fi and Indie Pop.〔http://www.rsteviemoore.com/cd/meet2.html〕 In 2013, a series of EP's by Gwenno were released which led to her debut album, "Y Dydd Olaf", in October 2014. The album quickly sold out and after a UK tour support with Gruff Rhys, Gwenno signed a record deal with Heavenly Recordings.〔http://www.nme.com/news/the-pipettes/85280〕 Peski continues to work with Gwenno acting as her management. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Peski Records」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
