FAQ

Please note, our office hours are generally Monday-Friday, 10am-6pm (PST). We are a small and busy team, and we appreciate your patience with our response times.

Publicity requests?

Licensing or publishing queries?

Can I send you a demo?

Due to environmental impact, we are no longer accepting physical demo submissions. If you have music you would like us to consider releasing on Mint, please contact using this submission form.

Tell us what your plans are, and why you want to work with us, and we will do our best to listen to your submissions. Also, we should note, we spook easily - so please don't be a nag. If we like it, we will be in touch.

What else can you do to get our attention? Get involved with your local music community. Go on tour. Make lots of friends. Get people talking. We'll notice. 

Who distributes your releases?

I placed an order on your Bandcamp page / through your website and haven't received anything yet. What should I do?

Due to the global pandemic, we are mostly working from home, and generally pack up mail order once a week. Shipping delays can be expected in these times so please be patient. Please keep in mind that we are located in Vancouver, Canada, and international shipping can take several weeks.

Can you explain the Mint Records logo?

The Mint Records logo was envisioned by co-founder Bill Baker and executed by Scott Fearnley, he of local computer animation/wizardry fame, who spent many hours studying the shadows made by candies under a spotlight. Some folks have said that the words look like "KILAT Records" but we can tell the difference.
