Joy Orbison is putting his music on streaming services tomorrow. His Spotify page is quite thin at the moment, with only three releases live ranging from 2010’s The Shrew Would Have Cushioned The Blow to 2018’s collaborative EP with Ben Vince, Transition 2 / System Align.

This is something he has been meaning to do for years apparently. He wrote a note on Instagram as to why he is doing this now.

“In the past, I think I may have given the impression that I was somewhat willfully obscure with the way I released my music,” he wrote. “I think I’ve just focused on what I thought made most sense with the music I was making and how I engaged with the culture. Over the years, that’s actually changed a fair bit, and I’ve got a load of new music on the way so it felt like a good time to get my shit together.”

It isn’t clear if all of his music will arrive on streaming services, but we hope it is all of his tracks.

ello ello, just a quick word (and an emo picture) to say my back catalogue will be available on all major streaming/digital platforms for the first time this Friday. this is something i’ve meant to do for years so i’m feeling weirdly excited. in the past i think i may have given the impression that i was somewhat wilfully obscure with the way I released my music. i think I’ve just focused on what i thought made most sense with the music i was making and how i engaged with the culture. over the years that’s actually changed a fair bit and I’ve got a load of new music on the way so it felt like a good time to get my shit together. also, thank you to everyone who’s come to a party, listened to my music or even just stayed on the floor when they’ve seen my potato head in the booth. hyph came out ten years ago now and it feels mad (but amazing) that i’m still able to do this. x pete (photo @williamaspden)
