🎼 1 week ago we celebrated the release of the debut album by Alma June and the Persian Cats with packed performances at
@space538 and
@thesquareportland 🙌 today we are celebrating the digital release NOW AVAILABLE ON BANDCAMP! hit the link on any of our profiles and buy it today, because it happens to be the penultimate *Bandcamp Friday* where 100% of sales go straight to the artists! 🙏 (we’ll be expanding to a wider release across all streaming platforms soon, but we decided to start with a limited release on
@bandcamp since they pay artists a fair share!)
🐈⬛ we’ve been developing this body of work in the studio with
@almajunecats for over a year and we’re so excited to share it with you all!
