My new single Child of the Night is out now! (streaming embed below video)

It's a wild bit of proggy indie disco for fans of Of Montreal, MGMT, David Bowie, Franz Ferdinand, Late of the Pier and more

Hope you enjoy 💖💖💖

hey y'all, since it's spotify wrapped season, can i beg a moment of your time? no, im not about to get on a soapbox about spotify. spotify sucks but that's not what i want to talk about.

did you know that most recording artists in the united states don't have the legal right to organize a union? some musicians are unionized as part of SAG-AFTRA or the American Federation of Musicians (for instrumental musicians), but lyricists and composers are classified as "independent contractors." This decision was handed down by the national labor relations board in 1984 and has not been overturned.

this means that musicians cannot organize or negotiate for better deals from, for instance, spotify, without the threat of being sued due to antitrust laws. musicians who are not represented by a major label or who are not part of a large musical organization such as an orchestra have very little bargaining power. source

fixing this situation will take a lot of work -- there's not a single easy solution. but in an era where we're seeing union growth and historic labor wins, i think now is the time to dream big. musicians need to organize ourselves on the ground to create collective power. we also need wider political interest and momentum around the necessity of musicians' rights.

this isn't time for you to say "yea im never gonna pay full price for music, sorry" or "musicians just have to accept that the market's saturated and devalued." this is time for us to try to envision a music industry where artists can be compensated for their creative labor and music can still remain accessible and easy to discover. changing the labor situation in the united states is just one piece of changing a global music industry, but it could have a big impact on the future.

if you're in the united states, there are two active efforts that you can ask your representatives to support -- one congressional bill introduced by Deborah Ross, and a resolution introduced by Rashida Tlaib.

H.R. 5576 - Protect Working Musicians Act of 2023 - sponsored by Artist Rights Alliance

H.Con.Res. 102 - Resolution for a new Streaming Royalty - sponsored by United Musicians and Allied Workers

i know there is so much to organize around right now. but if you're in the united states and have predominantly used spotify this year, or posted about spotify wrapped, please take a moment to send a message to your representatives about these bills. all you need to do is fill in your info, the letters are already written for you.

and please share this widely. thank you!!

I was just thinking about my own range and got curious. I know there's plenty of musically-inclined people on Tumblr, so I thought I'd ask.

If you don't already know, here's a quick tool to find out online:

Remember the song I wrote to pander to a now dead meme?

Well it got used as background music in the play and now it's going to be on my next EP in a more professional mix with live drums! I don't have that version yet but here's the original if you missed it. It's a fake 70s funk song from the perspective of Goncharov.

Might use this as the cover for Oh Boy OST btw. Going to have a promotion soon where you get the actual unreleased soundtrack to the play (all mixed and mastered by me, different from the final, expanded version coming out) for email signups.
