Godspeed You! Black Emperor have pulled their music from a number of streaming services.<\/p>\n

Almost the entirety of the band\u2019s discography has been removed from Spotify, Tidal and Amazon Music. Their two albums for\u00a0Kranky \u2013 1998\u2019s\u00a0F# A# \u221e\u00a0and 2000\u2019s\u00a0Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas To Heaven \u2013 are still up on\u00a0Apple Music, but a representative for the label has told Pitchfork<\/a> that they are in the process of being taken down.<\/p>\n

\u201cKranky has always granted artists control over how their music is presented and disseminated,\u201d a representative for Kranky said of the band\u2019s decision to remove their music from streaming services.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Fans of the post-rock band can still purchase and stream their music via their Bandcamp page<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Their removal of their music from major streaming services follows decisions by King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard<\/a>, Xiu Xiu<\/a> and Deerhoof<\/a> to remove their music from Spotify specifically in protest of chief executive Daniel Ek\u2019s investments into military technology.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The post-rock band’s discography has been taken down from Spotify, Tidal, Amazon Music, and is soon to be…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":76305,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[16522,96,39061,128,4324,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-76304","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-music","8":"tag-apple-music","9":"tag-entertainment","10":"tag-godspeed-you-black-emperor","11":"tag-music","12":"tag-spotify","13":"tag-uk","14":"tag-united-kingdom","15":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/76304","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=76304"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/76304\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/76305"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=76304"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=76304"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=76304"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
