In 2020, he reactivated his Independent Project label, which he originally founded in 1980.On this episode, Bruce joins host Jason P. Woodbury to discuss his album art creations, his time in the Mojave Desert, the Southwestern dream-pop scene of the ‘90s, his letterpress origins, his work with R.E.M. and much more.

Transmissions :: Bruce Licher (Independent Project) 

 After starting Independent Project Records as a University project, Bruce Licher, leveraging his music, design and letterpress background, grew the label into a highly influential artistic destination for post-punk and alternative musicians. Today Bruce shares the history of the label, the special pressings, the challenges incurred and the future of the relaunch of IPR.  If you like records, just starting a collection or are an uber-nerd with a house-full of vinyl, this is the podcast for you. Nate Goyer is The Vinyl Guide and discusses all things music and record-related.
