Indie band will sell it's one album for £1m

 Indie band The Pocket Gods have long campaigned for "fairer" streaming royalties, freeing albums of simply 30-2nd songs in the previous couple of years. Now, they have got bigger plans for their cutting-edge work, Vegetal virtual - however you may want a bit of coins and should get to St Albans to hear it.

At a small unbiased file shop tucked away in a neat courtyard of shops next to St Albans' famous cathedral, a vinyl report that one band is hoping could come to be the maximum steeply-priced ever sold within the united kingdom is ready to be released.

just one physical copy of prolific indie band The Pocket Gods' modern album Vegetal virtual has been produced, occurring sale at their place of birth's Empire records for the alternatively large sum of £1 million.

With charts of the tune enterprise's "maximum expensives" commonly throwing up global-renowned artists which include The Rolling Stones, Madonna and U2 (maximum high priced tours), and songs which include Michael and Janet Jackson's 1995 hit Scream (maximum luxurious tune video of all time), it would appear an implausible feat.

however the Hertfordshire band's frontman Mark Christopher Lee is assured they may find a purchaser.

Why are they attempting their luck? properly, they've long protested about what they say is the dearth of truthful royalties paid to musicians by means of Spotify and other streaming services - an issue raised via high-profile stars including Taylor fast in recent years, which become also the subject of an inquiry in the united kingdom in 2021.

Highlighting the truth it only takes 30 seconds for a track to cause a streaming charge, The Pocket Gods have been recording songs of round this duration due to the fact 2015; most effective The rich Can tour and we are All No Hit Wonders Now are most of the quickfire tracks you'll locate in their back catalogue.

however Lee says it is now time to "prevent moaning about Spotify" and do some thing effective to help artists and songwriters. So if the one reproduction of Vegetal digital sells for £1 million, the proceeds will fund a brand new rival "ethical" streaming platform, Nubplay.

It sounds ambitious, however the musician says he believes the file will be snapped up inside more than one weeks.
