It’s Bandcamp Friday!!!
Hello folks
Hope you are all safe and well.
As many of you are probably already aware, today Bandcamp are once again waiving their usual fees for 24 hours to help support artists during this worrying time. We are lovingly referring to this as Bandcamp Friday!
On March 20th Bandcamp made the decision to waive their fees for the first ever Bandcamp Friday and music lovers around the world spent over $4.3 million on music and merch in one day; directly supporting artists and almost breaking the internet at the same time.
Today Bandcamp are repeating this brilliant gesture and have committed to doing the same on the first Friday of the month for at least the next three months. Yet another reason we love Bandcamp and continue to support them. It really is the best place to buy your music.
Now for the hard sell…
Since the last Bandcamp Friday I have released two new albums!! Yes you heard that right; not one, but two new albums!!
As my electronic solo alter-ego Monochrome Echo I released a collection of ambient works composed and recorded over the last six months over a two album set; The Forgetting and Timelapse.
Both of these releases are exclusively on Bandcamp. So if you haven’t got your copies yet today would be a particularly welcome time to top up your Monochrome Echo collection. I’m also offering 35% off the full back catalogue when you buy the full set.
I’ve already bought a few albums today safe in the knowledge that every penny I spend is going directly to the artists I love. It’s an excellent time to clear out that expanding wishlist!
So please do head over to https://monochromeecho.bandcamp.com and have a listen for yourself. And big thanks to everybody that already bought the albums and EPs. I’m very lucky to have some very dedicated supporters and it means a lot that people are out there enjoying this music.
Happy listening and happy Bandcamp Day!!
Simon
