This week on Transmission, we explore 4AD records, one of the most celebrated and influential record labels in alternative music history. Starting back in 1980 and still very much going strong today. We're gonna hear legendary artists who helped put the label on the map, as well as some of the more recent acts that probably carry on the 4AD flag today.
