Mental or physical, big or small, every journey is a story unto itself and the atmospheric, cerebral sounds of Underway reflect the choices that keep us on the path.

Evoking hope and friendship through rising acoustic pop arrangements, Under My Wing nurtures an undertone of reflection and encourages growth.

A score for the televised struggle to survive with a mix of sound design, pulsing electronic elements, and nylon stringed guitar, ramping up the thrill of the adventure with waves of tension. 

We’ve explored the radiant territory known as Under the Sun before. We’ll revisit each of the previous volumes of this series, but first we’d like to introduce you to the newest member of the sunshine squad.

Our third installment of Under the Radar brings forward guitar-driven indie goodness that combines post-punk energy and melodramatic melodies with driving indie pop.

Punching the clock and plugging into the retail machine, channeling the corporate handbook and lofty consumerism expectations into optimistic lite electronica synth pop.

Live in the KEXP studios complete with a full band and choir, rising Seattle talent Alec Shaw brings his soulful vocals into a lush, raw indie pop playground.

Far away from shredding solos or fragile fingerpicking, Under The Bridge is an unexpected soundtrack that explores another side of what an electric guitar can do.

Under My Bed (UND-58) takes the drama and angst of a teenage goth bedroom, adds some sparse pop production, and emerges from the darkness with a moody, haunting, seductive soundtrack that feels kind of bad…. in a good sort of way.

Under One Roof v2 (UND-57) brings all the complexities of home into warm, atmospheric, organic sounds to create soft vignettes that underscore moments of reflection and memory.

Each UNDERscore track is specially structured with an intentional and consistent overall build, followed by a musical question mark—a jumping off point that leaves the audience wanting more.

Pandemics and dumpster fires aside, our dedication to sharing all manner of handcrafted sonic inspiration has never wavered. And while we love all of the releases we’ve put out this year, we’ve selected a few favorites from each of our curated labels.

While working in the lab late one night, my ears beheld some grooves that were tight. But not every spooky spot needs the “Monster Mash,” “Thriller,” or Harry Belafonte. So we rounded up some of our most haunting albums for all of your Halloween licensing needs, complete with a ghoulish playlist of the stand out tracks from our entire catalog.

The License Lab is not your usual corporate, standard, run-of-the-mill, production music superstore. And that’s precisely the way we designed it and like it. So while our catalog does not have everything for everyone, what we do have will surprise and delight your eardrums. Here’s a rundown of our choice Production Music Labels.

For our first roundup of 2020, we’ve got a reflective, confident vibe going on with these releases. There’s plenty of lo-fi and chill hip-hop, sunny and anthemic tracks, and uplifting percussive beats with a global twist. We also added a bit about practical applications for each release.

For all of your cutesy advertising spots full of children, products for children, and parents running after children, we present a new playlist called Child’s Play.

For those of you who already utilize production music, here are a few not-so-secret secrets that will help you get the absolute biggest bang for your buck and make the biggest impact with your campaign and clients when using our music.

This year has been full of change for us at The License Lab. And as we close out 2019, it’s important to go back to the reason why we do all of this: the music. With that in mind, we’ve gone through this year’s releases and highlighted some of our favorites.
