Deerhoof Are ‘Quitting Spotify’ Over CEO Investing in ‘AI Battle Tech’ Company
Deerhoof said they are leaving Spotify after its CEO invested nearly $700 million in Helsing, which makes military drones and AI defense software.
Satomi Matsuzaki, John Dieterich, Ed Rodriguez and Greg Saunier of Deerhoof perform on stage during Day 3 of the WOMAD Festival 2024 at Charlton Park on July 27, 2024 in Malmesbury, England. They added: “One of the claims often made about Spotify is that it theoretically makes one’s music discoverable by anyone who signs up, no matter how remote they may be from the self-proclaimed centers of hipness. The band have released 20 albums since their 1996 debut, Dirt Pirate Creed, via multiple indie labels, including Kill Rock Stars, Polyvinyl, and Joyful Noise Recordings, who will have to each remove the group’s music from Spotify.
