Tutl is a record label of the Faroe Islands, founded in 1977 by the Danish jazz musician and composer Kristian Blak. The "legendary label" is credited with giving many Faroese musicians their first break, and "has played a major role in giving musicians a chance to record and publish."[1]

History

Tutl is Faroese and means whisper, susurration; overseas, it is probably the best-known representative and distributor of Faroese music.[2] For instance, all entries of Faroese artists in the World Music guide (published by The Rough Guide) are released by "the main Faroese record company, Tutl."[3]

Leading Faroese musicians and groups like Teitur Lassen, Eivør Pálsdóttir, Høgni Lisberg, Guðrið Hansdóttir, Knút Háberg Eysturstein and Týr started their career at Tutl, and Blak's own jazz band Yggdrasil issues all their records at Tutl.

In 2008, Tutl entered into cooperation with The Rocking Factory, an organization based in Brussels, Belgium (now in Hamburg, Germany),[4] that aims to represent and promote music from the Nordic countries in mainland Europe. Besides distribution, The Rocking Factory is also slated to help Tutl-artists organize tours.[5]
