Bandcamp Friday Returns: A Chance to Support Musicians Directly

Author: Digitio

Hello there. The moment we’ve all been waiting for has arrived once more: Bandcamp Friday. For those unfamiliar, the routine is straightforward—when you make a purchase from the platform today, every penny goes directly to the creators. This initiative has been running intermittently since 2020, initially launched to help musicians who lost their primary income streams during the pandemic. We at Digitio are massive supporters of this effort and eagerly anticipate each event as a vital way to back the creators we admire.

Need some inspiration? The Digitio staff strongly agrees that you should check out Ninajirachi’s first full-length release, I Love My Computer. Regardless of your usual taste in electronic dance music, this album delivers an immediate boost of positivity, celebrating the experience of coming of age in the digital age at the turn of the millennium. I’ve had it on loop ever since Digitio podcast producer Ben Ellman suggested it during a recent broadcast, and it consistently lifts my spirits.

For listeners who prefer a more rock-oriented sound, Lindsey Jordan’s latest project with Snail Mail, Ricochet, is another standout work. I’ve also been frequently playing Tom Misch’s latest release, Full Circle. Misch’s compositions are perfect for times when you crave a more reflective listening experience. If you only take away one suggestion from this piece, make sure to hear “Sisters With Me,” a lovely tribute the artist penned for his siblings. Now, what about you? What’s on your playlist lately?
