As a followup to a previous story on the coming of independent labels on Apple's iTunes Music Store... Matador Records announced on Friday that "major chunks of its extensive catalog" are now available on Apple's iTunes Music Store.
Matador Records' bands include Interpol, Cat Power, Yo La Tengo, Stephen Malkmus, Mogwai, Guided By Voices, Pretty Girls Make Graves amongst many others, including The New Pornographers (not yet available on iTMS). Matador also hopes to also make exclusive materials available to the iTunes Music Store in the future.
The first independent artists started appearing in late July. PowerPage noted in September that Rounder Records added a significant portion of their catalog to the music store.
Apple has been adding an increasing number of new songs each Tuesday to their iTunes Music Store.
