Almo Sounds is a record label which was started in 1994 by Herb Alpert and Jerry Moss after they sold A&M Records to PolyGram. The intent of the label was to recreate the initial concept of A&M Records as a small, "boutique" label. The label signed artists Gillian Welch, Imogen Heap, Ozomatli and Garbage and several other artists. Alpert himself released his "Second Wind", "Passion Dance", and "Colours" albums on the label. The label continues as an independent label with distribution through Interscope Records, a current sister label to A&M.
