Rethinking the Bandcamp subscription

I have this Bandcamp subscription scheme set up & I haven’t done much to make it valuable, outside of a way to basically bulk-purchase my entire discography (+ a little merch discount). I also continue to be underwhelmed by playing the streaming game, and would rather be investing in the tiny but amazing audience I do have.

I still have some backlogged music, works in progress, etc just sitting there, and a bunch of other ideas sitting in my head. And it’s one thing to share it on social platforms, but I keep feeling like stuff gets lost in the algorithms.

And so I’m going to try something new! 🤪

I am going to begin releasing some music way in advance to subscribers on my Bandcamp. The first of these is going to be a possibly-finished-but-not-sure-yet EP, which I was planning to release this summer. Subscribers will be able to hear a version of this today.

Alongside this, I’m lowering the barrier to entry - $3/month for to all my EP/single releases and this bonus work-in-progress, plus more regular updates from me. For $10/month you also get all my albums for free, I’ll send you a t-shirt of your choice (I have some more ideas here), and I’ll invite you to my very quiet discord server where we can shoot the breeze about anything we might find interesting.

This may be a total nothing failure experiment, but it’s worth trying something rather than nothing. Subscribe today: kidlightbulbs.bandcamp.com/subscribe
