privacy – songs

a direct and intimate folk album from one of my favorite singers ever, Privacy

there’s no dramatics here, it’s just Laurel and her guitar, singing songs about love and loss

“It sounds very “alone” and evokes dust, crystal radios, and gin. My favorite thing I have heard all year.” – Bradford Cox

DOLLAR TAPES IS HERE NOW

Wednesday, February 12th, 2025

hello,

following the further cooperation between Google and the U.S.A. dictatorship, dollar tapes is abandoning blogspot in favor of the radical site you are currently on. noblogs is an amazing service run by great folks! it is a member of the A/I collective, which holds similar goals to the label.

 

“struggle for a world where fairness, equal rights and freedom are the corner stones of people’s life; fight back a society too interested in controlling us and in knowing who we are instead of what do we think or love/hate; resist to the widespread idea that any single moment of our life can be traded with money or economically valuable stuff.”

 

fuck yeah! awesome right? further distancing the label from anything against humanities survival. also in the process of uploading our releases to archive.org, in order to give YOU the ability to hear this music if you can’t afford (or don’t want to support) the label.

 

2 radical releases on friday! thanks.
