History

Historical Context

In 1974, George Harrison launched Dark Horse Records, signing the first solo acts and securing distribution through EMI. The label’s debut release, the 1975 single “My Sweet Lord” by Harrison, sold over 2 million copies worldwide within a year. Now Dhani Harrison and producer Nigel Godrich revive Dark Horse for their Dragonflies project, echoing the original label’s blend of rock and experimental production. If the 2026 album achieves comparable sales, it could reaffirm Dark Horse’s legacy of fostering innovative family-linked music ventures.
