Bandcamp's new management recently posted
a questionable missive recommending that bands/labels raise their prices on the platform. Their reasoning? "Fans on Bandcamp are generous and intentional about their support".
I'm not sure the generosity of your supporters is an excuse for price gouging. [Nor does it take into account that $6.66 is both a reasonable price for a digital download and totally kvlt.] But until artist-owned alternatives like
Ampwall gain more traction, Bandcamp is still the best option for supporting independant musicians and labels directly.
Anyways, it's Bandcamp Friday, which means you can buy music without the platform's new profit-driven overlords getting your money. Here are some recent and upcoming releases that I enjoyed.
