Less restrictive algorithms for discovery and ethical streaming platforms who pay a decent royalty. Even $0.01 would be a considerable pay rise! There are some out there, and new ones are emerging.
In the 90s we used to get £17 or so for a play on national radio in Spain, a bit more in Germany and Italy, about £35 for a play on Radio One in the uk, and even a couple of quid for being played on Polish national radio. That was a long time ago now.
We have a third party merch store, it’s really cool! I’ll make a thread about it sometime, but not today as there is much to do. You can find it here: https://www.redbubble.com/people/Dark-Company/shop
It seems a bit crazy that we started out wanting to play music and have now been railroaded into becoming haberdashers instead! Life is weird.
All of our music was removed from snotify by our label, and I tend to think that’s a good things when looking at the bigger picture. We recommend you do too, and cancel your subs, as shitify are a big part of the problem and nothing at all to do with the solution. Unless you happen to want AI robots to exterminate all life on earth. We don’t want our music supporting that, or enticing potential listeners to join that foul platform.
