Paracadute is an independent record company owned by rock band OK Go. OK Go left their previous record company, EMI, because of a disagreement between the band and the label.[2] OK Go reissued their album, Of the Blue Colour of the Sky, with Paracadute taking care of the promotion and distribution of the album reissues.[3] OK Go's lead singer, Damian Kulash, announced the new label in a video posted to the band's YouTube channel.

In addition to OK Go's music, Paracadute has released projects by Lavender Diamond, Pyyramids,[4] and a smart phone app called "Say The Same Thing."[5]

Infinity Shred, an electronic chiptune band, joined Paracadute with their new album release Sanctuary.[6]
