The label’s present roster includes Grammy-winner Bon Iver, Dinosaur Jr., Foxygen, Sharon Van Etten, and Unknown Mortal Orchestra, along with filmmaker Rick Alverson. Meanwhile, Dead Oceans was founded in 2007 by the owners of Jagjaguwar and Secretly Canadian, alongside Austin-based Phil Waldorf. It is the current home to Bleached, Bill Fay, Phosphorescent and The Tallest Man On Earth. The Numero Group was established by Tom Lunt, Rob Sevier, and Ken Shipley in 2003. It became a part of SG in 2013 when company partners Ben Swanson, Chris Swanson and Darius Van Arman bought a stake in the reissue specialist and brought it into the Secretly family. In addition to Grammy nods for their Light: On The South Side and Syl Johnson box sets, Numero is home to the Cali-Tex, Numerophon and Jr. sub-labels, and the renowned Eccentric Soul, Cult Cargo, Local Customs and Good God! compilation series.
