King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard Become Latest Act to Pull Music from Spotify

They follow Deerhoof and Xiu Xiu in turning their back on the streaming platform due to military investments made by its CEO

King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard have pulled almost their entire extensive back catalogue from Spotify.

The prolific Australian band first pointed to a potential move away from the streaming platform when taking to Instagram this week to promote the release of a new demos collection. Writing on social media, they told fans the release was out “everywhere except Spotify (fuck Spotify)”. They followed that up with a further statement shared in an Instagram Story, in which they confirmed that they opposed investments in military technology by Spotify CEO Daniel Ek.

The band wrote: “Hello friends. A PSA to those unaware: Spotify CEO Daniel Ek invests millions in AI military drone technology. We just removed our music from the platform. Can we put pressure on these Dr. Evil tech bros to do better? Join us on another platform.”
