History

After releasing her second album, Punisher, Phoebe Bridgers founded Saddest Factory Records on October 5, 2020. The label's name, "Saddest Factory", was first coined on twitter by Phoebe Bridgers' former bandmate, Haley Dahl of Sloppy Jane.[2] The name comes from a mispronunciation of the word "satisfactory".[3] The label was founded as an imprint of Dead Oceans, and the first artist to be signed to the label was Claud.[4] On May 19, 2021, Muna became the second artist to be signed to the label.[5] Charlie Hickey was the third artist to be signed to the label, with a remake of "Seeing Things", featuring Muna, being released in celebration.[6]

Musician ScruffPuppie had previously been signed in August 2021[7] before being subsequently dropped in December 2021 following allegations of inappropriate behavior.
