Bandcamp Friday in quarantine

​Let's briefly talk about Bandcamp Friday again. This is an event launched by Bandcamp when the epidemic is serious in 2020. The purpose is to keep musicians alive, and Bandcamp Friday is the first Friday of every month. On this day, musicians sell out 100% of the digital albums, physical or peripherals are available without any commission, so many prolific musicians are gradually starting to release new albums on this day of the month.

A few days ago, I wanted to introduce the physical music I listened to in isolation, but I was still too extreme when collecting physical music. Even if I shared it, few people bought it and listened to it. So let's share some new albums from Bandcamp Friday in April.

Let's get started...

FEN "Structure 1603"

https://wvsorcerer.bandcamp.com/album/structure-1603

The first was released by FEN on their new album, WV Sorcerer Productions. FEN is a multinational experimental music group with members of Otomo Ryoying (Japan), Ryu Hanji (South Korea), Yan Jun (China) and Yuan Zhiwei (Singapore). This album is a recording of their performance at Nijō Castle in Japan in 2017. In addition, I also shared a previous album "No One's Island" by FEN in the circle of friends last week. Those who like experimental music can listen to it.

Sondre Lerche "Avatars Of Love"

As soon as I heard it, it felt Nordic style, and then I saw that the producer was indeed Norwegian.

Crows "Beware Believers"

https://badvibrationsrecords.bandcamp.com/album/beware-believers

A very young band in the UK, the style is alternative rock, so you can hear noise rock, garage rock, psychedelic rock on one album…
