    Marriage Records

    Marriage Records is a small, independent record label based in Portland, Oregon, USA. It was founded in late 2002 by Curtis Knapp and Adrian Orange. The first release was a cd-r entitled Nothing by Thanksgiving. Marriage releases vinyl records, compact discs, CD-Rs, tapes, skateboards, books, posters and apparel. The label is distributed by Southern Records.

    Initially a CD-R-release-only label for the first year and a half of existence, the label quickly grew in 2004 to begin releasing elaborate packaging schemas with most records. In 2006, the label released one box set, six compact discs, four compact disc/vinyl record combos, one skateboard, and one book.

    In 2006 Marriage also began a new phase in its history by starting Marriage Publishing House. Its first publishing project was Tom Bloods poetry book The Sky Position, which received the 2007 Oregon Book Award for poetry from Literary Arts Inc. In 2007, it started publishing Veneer Magazine.

    Knapp continues to run the day to day operations of the label with vice president Jordan Dykstra in the Yale Union Laundry Building (listed on the National Register of Historic Places) in southeast Portland. Oranges involvement is unclear, although he continues to release albums through the label.

    The record labels website has focused much attention on the development of a young male child named Fox, who is Knapps son.

    In 2007, The Seattle Stranger interviewed Steven Malkmus of Pavement who stated "Theres just crazy stuff ... Marriage Records, this guy Curtis, has got some good stuff."
