Phoebe Bridgers has announced the launch of her new record label, Saddest Factory, in partnership with Dead Oceans. The full press release can be found below, and an interview with Phoebe about the label is up at Billboard:

Bridgers has already signed her first act, which will be announced in the coming weeks.
