Talitres, formerly known as Talitres Records, is a French independent record label based in Bordeaux, founded in 2000 [3] and specializing in indie pop and folk music. It began as a way to release music from indie rock bands that were not distributed in France and Europe, and has expanded to include various artists from all around the world. The label has released notable records by The National, Motorama, Destroyer, François & the Atlas Mountains, Emily Jane White, and many others.[4]

Talitres' first release was Elk City's debut album in March 2001 and has gone on to release between 5 and 8 albums each year since then.[5]
