Nine Stones Close

To everyone who has supported our music over these past years.

Due to the proliferation of numerous issues with streaming services (especially Spotify and Apple) who provide our music to listeners around the world, we have taken the decision to remove all of our music from all music streaming services for the foreseeable future. The erosion of artists rights, the poor security around artists identities and assets, unfounded take downs, lack of any support and the gaming of the systems of payment have led us to the point where publishing our music on these platforms is now an untenable option. We sincerely hope that people will still support artists like ourselves though the channels we will use in the future for physical formats (web shop, online retailers)

paid downloads (Bandcamp).

I sincerely hope that all independent artists out there follow suit.

FYI, this is also well worth a watch to inform yourself https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=plleJ0Zv0Ww
