That's lovely of you, thank you Maggie!

This is us at the teat of another streaming multinational, this one having the advantage of paying slightly more and, more importantly, not stiffing tiny bands by only paying out on tracks with more than 1,000 plays.
If you're out there listening - we appreciate it hugely. xx

We're very proud of the 3 (!) entries in your top 5 albums. This is the kind of chart that is worth being excited about

To reiterate the positive though - we are so honoured to have people listening. Thank you. Come see us live next year. It's the best way to be sure what you're seeing / hearing isn't generated by AI.

I would love for us to be able to earn enough from music that we can create more in the best possible environment so with a heavy heart we remain content providers for the Twitter of the music sphere.

Perhaps we should boycott, in the way that at least two members of the band never buy from Amazon for a host of reasons. But the fact is sptfy have a stranglehold on the market, and our absence there would only negatively affect us, not them.

But simultaneously we can be deeply ambivalent about being on a platform that treats smaller artists abominably, and floods the space with lazy AI slop to fill their own pockets.

Hope you're enjoying it Maggie!

Thanks Matt!

That is about the loveliest thing we could hear, thank you. (I actually am quite fond of the first Enya album...)

I feel a research paper coming.

I can honestly say it is our pleasure

Haha. Are you saying I haven't changed? I'm just a little taller.
No chance of Andy going back there currently. They wouldn't let him in, given how intensely critical he has been of the regime, for more than a decade.

misread the caption but it still made sense

Thank you for being there. Glad you got your very own chant!
