Sonic Vista Music is an independent English record label, founded in Kingston upon Hull in 2005, notable for having business connections in Japan and Canada.
Founded by the members of the band Ernest, and shortly afterwards by promoter and Strummer[1] music magazine editor, Ken Foster, the label sought to escape the confines of the heavily London weighted UK music industry by exploring overseas markets, particularly Canada and Japan.
[4] The label also released a compilation album, World of Expectation, featuring Goldblade and Roovel Oobik in the same year.
[6] The label had already signed acts such as the avant garde indie jazz outfit, Eveline, from Bologna, Italy and the singer-songwriter, Steph Fraser.
The label has continued to release music which eschews the mainstream and has focused much of its energy into developing the careers of Steph Fraser in the UK and Canada and also Man-made Noise in Japan.
