Hello skillets, Alan here. We’re planning to get back in the studio soon, but in the meantime here’s an update on some issues with Spotify behind the scenes. If you’re not interested in a rant about digital platforms and copyright law, here’s the short version: if you listen to Cast Iron on Spotify, you should move to another app, because we won’t be able to publish there in future. If you want to hear the long version, there’s a little music recommendation at the end to make it worth your while. Take care and we’ll be back with you soon.
