Athamé Records started as a song circle in Claire’s living room. We’d get together every few weeks and workshop ideas that felt too new to share with the world. The label evolved from there, keeping the idea of process as its root. We’ve moved slowly and intentionally through the work of creating something new, prioritizing care, generosity, and fun. Our ultimate goal is to make a supportive space for artists who’ve been historically underrepresented in music—especially BIPOC, LGBTQ+, and women/femmes.
Athamé's "Seeds" is the label's first offering - a compilation of 17 songs by women and nonbinary musicians, each marking the start of something new. Each song is a beginning–a work-in-progress, bedroom recording, or new release.
