Fonal Records is an independent record label from Finland. It was initially founded in the mid-1990s by Sami Sänpäkkilä to release his recordings under his recording name Es.[1]

Sänpäkkilä initially ran the label from his childhood home in Ulvila and had his parents help package records.[1]

Fonal is well known worldwide for championing the Finnish music scene. It is one of the labels associated with the Finnish psych-folk scene.[2]

A large number of Fonal releases were recorded, mixed and mastered at their own SS-Palace Studio. The studio reflects the same principles as the record label, with a creative atmosphere, allowing anything from demos to full-length albums to be recorded. The studio boasts Digital 16-track simultaneous recording, or 8-track 1/4 inch reel-to-reel tape recording; also, importantly, lo-fi engineering, if required.
