About edit
The name Scissor and Thread originates from the label's hands-on approach, both in a focus on analog and organic instrumentation and in A&R. The label only releases albums from artists who Harris has met in person, and who have visited his studio.[2] The label has stated it aims to focus on the LP format of full albums, with their most successful releases being Harris' two LP's, "Leland" and "Minutes of Sleep," which both received strong reviews from the influential electronic music magazine Resident Advisor.[3][4][5]
