Here's some mellow (but noisy? grainy?) longform music for you.

'Waterside' is free, but grab a promo code in the next post to add it to your #Bandcamp collection, stream on phone, etc.

@octif and I have made music for maybe 22 years now, this is our 4th release under the name "Tonkyn Pearson", a nod to ancestral family names from each of us.

Always happy to chat method and such!

oh and lastly the album is available on all streaming services except Spotify, haha. is this what "churlish" means?
Show threadMichael MathyJul 2, 2023
@jet excellent ! Thanks. I will have a listen today. I see in your post that you are not on Spotify. Why if you do not mind my asking ?
Show threadMichael UJul 2, 2023

@michaelmathy thanks for checking it out, I hope it's your kind of thing.

I have a lot of problems with "the music industry" and I think Spotify has made things much worse when there was an opportunity for improvement. So after a lot of conversation we agreed to not put music there.

I don't really think the other streaming services are any better, but we actually both use them and agreed to keep distributing music there for convenience's sake. I can't defend this position, haha.

@jet I have quickly listened to the beginning of waterside to be sure I will not ruin a download code and it is the kind of music I like.

And totally understand your point of view on Spotify. I mainly use bandcamp because I feel better when using it 😀 and switch to Spotify when what I want to hear is not available.

@jet excellent, thanks, grabbed the top one!
Show threadMichael UJul 2, 2023
@c_reider nice, I hope you enjoy it! much noisier and sometimes darker than what I do solo, which I think lines up quite well with some of your interests.

@jet Thank you so much! I used the second code after giving it a listen. Immediatly fell in love with the album.

@pawlowa hey thanks very much! these kinds of comments are so nice to hear! and thanks for the little review over on the Bandcamp page.

interestingly, we make what we self-release pay as you like, but this is the first time we've shared promo codes and it really has got a lot more attention.
