Something I've very excited about for my next single, "performance", is that it's actually a collaborative EP containing 5 different takes on the song.

Something I've very excited about for my next single, "performance", is that it's actually a collaborative EP containing 5 different takes on the song. My internet friend ilyBBY contributes not one, but *two* remixes, and Brenna Menz's vocal stylings are all over the thing. It's yet another example of the music community here & elsewhere online that continues to thrive in this otherwise precarious time. I hope this is a fun example of what's possible when we come together as artists. The "performance versions" EP is a Bandcamp exclusive, and will be out 10/2 for the next Bandcamp Friday.

I think my next single will be the last one I put on a streaming service. I’m done. There’s more to my reasoning, but in sum it’s just not worth the trouble.

Yes I don’t like Spotify nor the streaming model in general for many reasons, but also it’s just not working for the music/brand I want to make & I need to stop acting like it is.

An experiment: I've decided to make all my music pay-what-you-want on Bandcamp. You can now get the entire Kid Lightbulbs discography for free if you like! All I ask is for your email address – this also gets you reliable updates anytime I release something new. You can also optionally support the project with $ anytime you grab an album/single, or join the cult of lightbulbs (my subscription thingy). Why am I doing this? Because music is already devalued. I don't like it, but I've also enjoyed leaning into this for the joy & creativity's sake (openly inviting artists to cover/remix me, giving away sales to causes I care about). I wonder if all I'm doing by requiring $ is restricting access on the platform I want more people to connect with me on (Bandcamp, in this case). There is always the option to support me in multiple ways. 👇 I'm efficient with my music production, so I can afford to give away my music on the chance it reaches more people with a clear way to support me if they want to.

Something I’m proud about with upcoming LP4 is that I’ve somehow merged all the styles of Kid Lightbulbs past into something that (to me at least) feels completely fresh: The distortion and urgency of THROW MYSELF The sprawl of STEP The atonality and spareness of CASTLE The minimalism and improvisation of SOLO PIANO It’s feeling nearly there.
