Don't know if there are fellow #ambient and electronic #music fans here but I've been finding more great ambient/atmospheric/soundscapes stuff on #Bandcamp lately:
I've just released a new song on Bandcamp! It's called Good Guys and it's about how destructive superheroes can be, sometimes blowing up entire cities while fighting the bad guys.
I wrote it years ago (I think after watching Batman Begins? Or it could have been one of the Avengers) and I'm super happy to have a recording of it now! It's comedy surf rock and it's got a great groove!
I did all the mixing and mastering myself and I'm a bit nervous about it, so please let me know what you think!
I’ve got a day off tomorrow, so instead of banging on about my music, I’m going to stay up late listening to yours.
If you’re an #indiemusician on #bandcamp or #soundcloud and you have a toot with a track you’d like to promote, link your toot in the comments and I’ll give it a boost.
[edit: If you’re a musician or songwriter here on Mastodon and have your music somewhere else, please share a link! This is about the artists and their music, not any platform!]
"Walking with no other purpose than recording what happens. Repeating to notice if things have changed, though hopefully some things are the same. [...] Walking, sometimes looking for something. Walking, other times thinking about life, especially love."
Discovered this underground garage/weird/punk rock label out of Belgium called Belly Button Records and there are SO MANY artists and albums on it (many are made by one dude, the owner) that I dig. It's so wild to see amazing garage rock is still out there being made.
I stumbled across the label via Instagram, strangely, a band called Plexi Stad who have an amazing new album called 'Probation Baby', and other awesome bands on the label are Mitraille, Moar (the guy who owns the label), Roda Lits, Warm Exit..
THEN Bandcamp suggests OTHER bands/artists I end up loving like Cereal Killer and Fruit Tones.
New, rough, raw, punky rock and roll via Belgium. Who knew. I'd been LOOKING for stuff like this. I always am.
Today marks 150 days in a row that I've had at least one new person check out my music. I believe the vast majority of those came from Mastodon, so I'd like to thank all you who can see this. I really appreciate you checking out my music, and I especially appreciate those of you who appreciate the music.
Here's a link in case the rest of you want to go check it out:
Welcome to the ~50 or so new followers from the last week or so! And any older followers who I haven't interacted with, yet! If you haven't taken a minute to check out some of my music, please, please take an opportunity to do so. I'm a 100% independent, Bandcamp-exclusive musician trying to get the word out with no marketing budget. Every sale and every stream comes directly or indirectly from a post like this. Have a listen?
A ballad with bite and drive! @jonnyfallout has delivered a engaging and energetic slice of pop goodness, a female-fronted vocal track sliding into that sweet spot between Grimes and Chvrches and topped with just enough '80s to push a few nostalgia buttons.
Spacey, bleepy and mysterious, "Shock to the System" is @astrophotoid sole track on #Bandcamp, but it's an intriguing one. Call it a lowkey, no-beat selection of sounds to study to -- or drift off into cosmic consciousness to, more likely. Embraces the weirdest bits of classic synth tracks -- think of the breakdown in Pink Floyd's "Echoes," or something like it -- and finds a home there.
I don’t normally have time to listen to whole albums or playlists recommended by friends, but that one track they’re currently obsessed with? Sure. I’ll give that a shot!
We could recreate it quite simply on here:
• Use the hashtag and pin a toot with your current jam.
• Include a #Bandcamp link (if available).
• Do a new (linked?) toot when you have a new obsession 💘.
