The Limousines short relationship with record labels is coming to an end. After they self-released their EP Scrapbook and full-length Get Sharp, and even got some radio airplay on their own, Universal Republic signed the band for a single-song deal for “Very Busy People” and Dangerbird Records re-released Get Sharp. The duo is going back to its DIY roots with Hush and recently launched at Kickstarter campaign to fund the project.

“We could easily get another record deal, but that would just mean putting our band, our lives, in the hands of people who are less passionate about our music than we are,” the band wrote on their kickstarter page.

They are asking for $30,000—the minimum needed to finish recording, mastering and mass producing the album—which at the time of writing this post was nearly met. If they exceed $30,000, they plan to properly promote the album by hiring agents, publicists and going on tour.

The band is more than happy to be working on the album without label support. According to their Kickstarter page, they had a lot of reluctance signing with a label in the first place.

“We had every intention of staying independent, but we were constantly pestered and tempted by record labels—We know that would be a dream come true for most bands, but to be completely honest, it was kind of scary…Guess we ended up losing our bearings and they eventually convinced us we needed the help of a label to take the band to the next level,” they wrote on their Kickstarter page.

The Kickstarter campaign to fund Hush ends on Tuesday September 25th.
