Homegrown record labels play all kinds of different and important roles in music communities. Mike Mannix’s Centripetal Force Records helps Nashville-residing indie artists get their work out — sometimes for their initial release, as with Nashville Ambient Ensemble’s Cerulean, and sometimes in handling vinyl pressing for existing releases, as with Lou Turner’s Songs for John Venn. As the label’s name implies, it also draws a huge range of musicians from far and wide toward Nashville’s music scene; 2022 projects include the U.S. releases of Kungens Ljud & Bild by Swedish space rockers Kungens Män and Songs of Horaman by Iranian tanbur player Mohammad Mostafa Heydarian.
