Odd Box Records is a British DIY indiepop record label started in London but now based in Cardiff, Wales, following relocation in 2016. It has been hailed as a "big presence on the indiepop scene."
Odd Box was launched in 2009, after the dissolution of earlier imprint Lost Music Records. The label has issued a steady and wide-ranging series of albums, EPs and singles since that time including well-received releases by The Wolfhounds,Pocketbooks,Sarandon,The Manhattan Love Suicides,Martha,Joanna GruesomeThe Blanche Hudson Weekend and The Ethical Debating Society, as well as other groups such as The Millipedes, The Humms, The Wednesday Club, One Happy Island, The Monorals, The Smittens, Ace Bushy Striptease, Pale Man Made, Tyrannosaurus Dead, Wolf Girl and Giant Burger.
The label also operates as an events promoter as well as helping to organise annual festivals, including previously the Odd Box Weekender. As such Odd Box is regarded as a linchpin of the independent music scene, alongside other long-established DIY labels such as Fortuna Pop!
In 2017 Odd Box released the first in a planned series of EPs by The Darling Buds, featuring their first new material for 25 years, and reissued the debut album by Witching Waves, originally released on the Soft Power label.
