This is arguably the feature I'm most excited that we're bringing to @buffer.com since I joined the team.
A calm (seriously, it's so... just calm) way of keeping up with your community across social platforms. It's truly going to be wonderful for all types of creators.
Coming next Wednesday 😉

Something I thought would be fun: a diagram illustrating all the connective tissue across my music. So I made one in Figjam. I present to you: The Kid Lightbulbs song map

This does not go entirely into the archives, but shows the recurring references & motifs across my 4 albums.

I'm going to open up a preorder for INFINITE NORMAL (kid lightbulbs lp4) probably today or tomorrow. I haven't yet gotten a test pressing of the CD edition and I want to make sure it is all looking good first before I "publish" that. So here's the deal:

my last single was an angry anxious rant about surviving late capitalism, so it's only fitting that my next single is going to be an angry jaded rant about the performative nature of late capitalism
it's appropriately titled: "performance". @brennamenz.com is on it.

An experiment: I've decided to make all my music pay-what-you-want on Bandcamp.
You can now get the entire Kid Lightbulbs discography for free if you like!
All I ask is for your email address – this also gets you reliable updates anytime I release something new.

I love working in dark mode so much that sometimes I forget to disable it when sharing @buffer.com screenshots, even though it's not done and still being tested internally 😅
I guess this is a backhanded way of saying dark mode is finally coming to Buffer on web! Likely late summer / early fall.

Third announcement of the week:
The first single off INFINITE NORMAL will be "womb", the opening track.
It's out now exclusively on Bandcamp, along with a b-side, "come alive", which will *not* be on the album. Get it here, or better yet, save it for Bandcamp Friday tomorrow: buff.ly/Ghzei1J

Big update: I'm removing my first 2 albums from the streaming platforms. Not enough people who haven't also bought them on Bandcamp are listening.
They're exclusively at Bandcamp and kidlightbulbs.com. Singles are still up and getting some plays.

REMIXED CASTLE, in full, is now coming to streaming.
The last remix in the cycle is the "belong" remix by @bad-years.bsky.social – a dear internet-friend & collaborator – who took "belong 2" and its sister track "we don't belong" (from LP1) and molded them into this spiritual meditative thing. 1/3

“don’t wait” - reimagined by @loopsnake.bsky.social as a moody, sprawling 10-minute club banger - out next Friday 7/11. This remix is delicious.

I am excited to share the next REMIXED CASTLE release: “waste me away” as reimagined by @superscience.xyz
This remix is wild. It starts like a smoky film noir, and grows - via the signature SuperScience synth metal sound - into this intense fireball of emotion.

TLDR: I'm doing a flash sale ⚡ REMIXED CASTLE is now name-your-price 🏰
I mentioned last week that I'm divesting all Bandcamp profits to queer/trans creators in need. Nobody's really taken me up on this, so I'm going a bit bold to rally some support.

I don’t have 100k streams, but I do have 7 very nice patrons who have “subscribed” to kid lightbulbs totaling $19.66 of recurring income each month.
After processing fees, that's barely $16/month, or $191/year. But that also makes kid lightbulbs *almost* a cost-neutral operation (1/4)

An extremely underrated perk of remote work: if you have a pet, you can have it around all day long *without* needing to worry about whether a coworker is allergic to said pet
even better if they sit up like a human next to you while you're working

This is such a silly thing but it helps me out a lot:
I got into a habit of defaulting to posting on Threads, which was great! But I started neglecting other places online (like Bluesky 😜 ), and I'm keen to try out Mastodon more... so I made a little shortcut to gradually fix my habit:
