"Our deal with Ryko is now over and we haven't renewed it's term... Kristin is currently in the process of signing with 4AD for the entire world (rather than for the world outside of North America)as she is now... 4AD will seek/is seeking a licensing deal in North America for Kristin's records (much like they do with Breeders, Pixies, Cocteaus, etc.) It's an opportunity to work more closely with 4AD that we've been seeking and looking forward to for years. We're very pleased. "
