History

Magnanimous Records was founded in Shepherdstown, West Virginia in 2001 by Curt Seiss and Daniele Seiss. The label was formed to provide a platform for local musicians specializing in modern atmospheric music, as most local venues catered primarily to Appalachian and bluegrass musicians.[1] The label soon signed around a dozen ambient and atmospheric musicians,[1] and later moved to Takoma Park, Maryland.

The label's first compilation in 2004 received a glowing review from Left off the Dial, which wrote "While indie-pop culture appropriates the IDM underground to make frequently saccharine sing-alongs, it is good to know that young, talented musicians continue to produce intelligent, experimental electronic sounds. Fans...will appreciate the drifting tones and haunted quality of the Magnanimous artists."[2]
