@sturmsucht When talking to musicians, recommendations usually are #Bandcamp or #Tidal , with a certain preference for the former because streaming seems generally difficult fairness-wise.
If you have many #bandcamp album then I recommend enabling full #discography purchase on your profile, because since I got the option in early 2017 it has been my highest-selling item, selling more than twice than my highest-selling album/compilation during that time period. It also makes it easier as a fan of an artist to purchase large discographies, as you don't have to add each album to your cart one by one.
We appreciate the artists who've signed up on Mirlo. Thank you for entrusting us with your music. We make a commitment to value artists and continuously center their needs as Mirlo grows.

I put together my April favourites on Bandcamp via BuyMusicClub. There were some great releases this month I think. Parra for Cuva has finally set up a Bandcamp account with his new Mimose album as well as the new Catching Flies album is also out now, plus a bunch of other great releases. Hope you enjoy! ✨
This is a single from Arnold de Boer's album "Today I Forgot to Complain". The music owes its roots to noisy postpunk (Pink Flag by Wire, Entertainment by Gang of Four) as much as bit-crunched, chopped-up electronica and "intelligent dance music" (Aphex Twins, Squarepusher).
Happy Friday, everyone. My first new album in a year is here. A Knife Into Flowers is six tracks of dissonant synths, surrealist adventures in distortion, transistor radio surfing and vaguely post-apocalyptic goodness.

I see Round Records put the new Garcia Live up on #Bandcamp. Does this mean we can look forward to them releasing more of the back catalog? #JerryGarcia
Second album by this SW Virginia area trio. Soon One Morning is firmly planted in Old-Time Appalachian tradition, but concentrates mostly on original material. Standing out in particular is "Floyd Allen," Ralph Berrier Jr's masterful retelling of an area tragedy with a sweet and unexpected major/minor chorus change-up. Mike Gangloff's lengthy and elegiac instrumental "This War Is Killing Me" glides along on a sad melody passed around between resonator guitar, cello and fiddle. Many tracks are anchored by Gangloff's unusual gut-string baritone banjo. Two solo instrumentals on the CD add balance between the vocal numbers - Isak Howell's "Have You Been To Alabama?" is a subtle fingerpicked workout, while Gangloff's "Ironto Special" is a considerably more exotic-sounding modal construction on the big banjo. Elsewhere, there's an upbeat essay of "Pallet On The Floor," a relation to "Poor Boy Long Ways From Home," which appeared on the groups debut North Fork Flyer album. Among the traditional numbers, none is more striking than the group's charging and rough treatment of "Oh Death," with Gangloff and Berrier spitting out the call and response vocal which gives the album its title.
