Terrifying in its bleakness, Elegy is a record dedicated to its portrayal of loneliness, telling a story with firm roots in tension contextualised by the title’s disheartening implications.
A dedicated sponge in the blank countenance of empty space and flat time, I'd say.

Well, deciding what to work on next, that has always felt like the easiest part of the job because it’s whatever benefits artists the most. Because the way Bandcamp makes money is if artists make a lot more money, so that’s what we try to spend every day doing.
In contrast with Spotify's CEO:
“Music is everything we do all day, all night, and that clarity is the difference between the average and the really, really good.”

I like the idea that Bandcamp hangs out in the background and just makes all of this stuff work, and also, hopefully, helps the artist promote themselves, and it’s not about “Bandcamp, Bandcamp, Bandcamp.”.
And this is why I felt so compelled - obligated, even - to write my big Bandcamp essay.

how come Bandcamp doesn’t get mentioned in all these press articles about music services? Are those related questions?
Oh my god, this. I have been asking myself this question with increasing intensity for years, now.
