US band Deerhoof are quitting Spotify, removing all of their back catalogue from the service following Spotify CEO’s Daniel Ek’s investment in German weapons tech company, Helsing.
The much loved ex-punks have released 20 albums since their 1997 debut, The Man, the King, the Girl – an album which was recorded on 4-track cassette. It’s safe therefore to say that in technology terms Deerhoof have seen it all come and go over the years. However, Ek’s latest moves have prompted the band to call it quits and pull the plug on any further relations with the world’s biggest music platform.
