Bella Union is a British independent record label founded in 1997 by Simon Raymonde and Robin Guthrie of Cocteau Twins.
[1] The band split up not long after, but instead of letting the newly formed label go under, Robin Guthrie, Simon Raymonde and their former manager Fiona Glyn-Jones decided to take charge of it.
[3] In 2007, the 10th anniversary celebrations saw Bella Union host a two-night showcase at London's Royal Festival Hall featuring their artists such as Beach House and Midlake, along with guest appearances from Paul Weller and members of Editors.
While in Oslo, Raymonde received a link to Fleet Foxes' Myspace page, who at the time had only released a demo version of "White Winter Hymnal".
In 2016, following his sold out show at Royal Albert Hall, artist John Grant received a Silver disc for the album Pale Green Ghosts.
