A grim quote from industry veteran Gerard Cosloy of Matador record is claiming,
"I feel sometimes like we have to work twice as hard and spend twice as much money to sell half as many records that we would have been satisfied with a decade ago...Sometimes things take a while, and there's all sorts of revisionist history that takes place.

Fast forward more than a decade and they're one of the more iconic, universally beloved bands on the circuit. It was hard to imagine that happening within our first 12 months of working with them."A grim quote from someone who has been breaking indie acts for decades, that explains a lot about the industry today.
