In March, fans of Denton-based blues rock band The Infamists were surprised to see that a bizarre album consisting of 45-second songs had dropped on their Spotify. Nobody was as surprised as the band members themselves.
The Infamists are real people who play real instruments. That may seem like the bare minimum, but it still doesn't apply to AI.For music fans, it’s always exciting to see that an artist has dropped a new release as a surprise on streaming platforms. It’s less fun, however, when artists themselves are surprised to learn that they’ve released new music.
Rogers explains to us that music is uploaded to streaming services through distributors such as Distro Kid and CD Baby, the latter of which his band works with. “It’s really fast and easy to make AI music,” he says. “And if you can find a distributor that will just upload it for cheap onto Spotify, and they're not a good distributor that does, you know, the vetting they're supposed to do, it’s really not hard to do.”“We're a midsize band,” Rogers says. “We don't have a record label. We don't have a bunch of money. We all have day jobs. But we also do pretty decent on Spotify for a local, unsigned band.
“I read on their Twitter that they were going through basically the same thing,” Rogers says. “I asked them how they dealt with it and they sent me a video message back that said, ‘Here's the company that did it. Just keep pestering.’”
