Speaking about Lennon’s deal, Concord Music head of creative US, Jeremy Yohai said: “We are very excited to be working with Sean and his eclectic catalog, from his early work as an artist signed to Grand Royal records to his recent collaborations with Lana Del Rey, Flaming Lips, Black Lips and Les Claypool to the multiple film scores he's composed. We look forward to joining Sean’s team as he continues his creative journey as a writer, producer and artist.”
Lennon added: “Concord has some fantastic writers & artists, Mark Ronson, Temples… I’m honored to join them.”
Speaking about Sinclair’s deal, Yohai said: “We have been big fans of Teddy for a while. She has an amazing talent for marrying timeless songwriting with contemporary culture. We are over the moon that she picked Concord as her creative partner.”
Sinclair added: “I'm so thrilled to have found such a forward-thinking publishing home at Concord and can't wait to execute our shared vision for the future."
