“We are so fucking stoked to welcome the legendary Preservation Hall Jazz Band to the Sub Pop roster!,” the label announced Thursday, June 28. We couldn’t have said it better ourselves.

Pres Hall Jazz Band is indeed the newest member of the Seattle-based label’s roster, which is also home to Father John Misty, Fleet Foxes, The Postal Service, Shabazz Palaces and more. In a statement, Sub Pop said the following:

At a moment when musical streams are crossing with unprecedented frequency, it’s crucial to remember that throughout its history, New Orleans has been the point at which sounds and cultures from around the world converge, mingle, and resurface, transformed by the Crescent City’s inimitable spirit and joie de vivre. Nowhere is that idea more vividly embodied than in the Preservation Hall Jazz Band, which has held the torch of New Orleans music aloft for more than 50 years, all the while carrying it enthusiastically forward as a reminder that the history they were founded to preserve is  a vibrantly living history.

In addition to the news of the band’s signing, Sub Pop announced Preservation Hall Jazz Band will release new material in 2019.
