It's #BandcampFriday in just a few hours. If you can afford it, I'm asking you to consider spending as much tomorrow at Bandcamp (or other indie music retailers) as you do every month on your music streaming subs.

$15 is nothing to Spotify but it can be HUGE to an independent artist.

If you absolutely can't spend any money, that's okay! You can still do a hell of a lot of good for your fav indie musician! A few things you can do, in rough order of importance:

It's time for the weekly teaser edition of Other People's Music! This thread is an intro to the full post, offering just the initial line of each review as a tease, along with a link to the music, socials and full write-up.

Skip the line and read the full thing:

Kikai – 0123

A just-modernized take on classic Berlin School, full of warm synthesizer sweeps, percolating arpeggios, cosmic melodies, and relaxed beats.

Reminder, cause I see a post about them going around, #TheCrowHillCompany is run by notorious transphobe Christian Henson and if you support human rights you sure as fuck shouldn't be using their products, much less shilling for them.

ESPECIALLY today, of all days.

@mattly code is optional, I just need a link really

The latest Other People's Music covers diverse offerings across multiple genres, including a groovy guitar-focused instrumental offering from @ology and lots more!
