Bandcamp does a promotion called Bandcamp Friday where they waive their revenue in order to give more to the artists when you buy their music. Today is a Bandcamp Friday, so here are some artists that I think you should check out. I know I’ll be buying songs from a few of them today.
Sylvan Esso: One of the localish artists that I found thanks to an article about Psychic Hotline. I bought What Now recently and it has been a pretty regular entry in my listening rotation.
Daughter of Swords: Another artist I found through Psychic Hotline. I picked up their album Alex last month and have really enjoyed listening to it.
Made in 1985: I went to school with Scott, and he’s a cool guy not just because he shares my name and we chatted in some art classes twenty-some years ago. I’ve bought a bunch of his music over the past few years.
Rogue Radio: Louise Sugden is a former Games Workshop employee who has a hobby-focused YouTube channel called Rogue Hobbies. She also has made some music.
neon shudder: neon shudder did soundtrack albums for the Hard Wired Island roleplaying game. That album is one of my daughter’s top picks when her and I are driving somewhere.
Lofi Girl: This is actually a label with songs from a bunch of different artists. They do a mix of big and small albums. One of my favorite is chill beats for LEGO building, but I also enjoy their seasonal releases like Halloween 2023 and Christmas 2023.
