Jagged City (Defeater, etc.) have released a new song titled “Imaginary Lines.” However, fans hoping to hear it on Spotify may be out of luck. The version uploaded to the streaming service actually serves as a PSA against them.

The following was said on the Spotify stream:
“This is a public service announcement from Jagged City. Due to their investment in AI weapons, extremely low artist payouts, and promotion of completely non-human made songs, this track will not be available on this platform. We encourage you to buy our music from our label, Pelagic Records, from our band at shows, from Bandcamp, or listen on another less compromised streaming service.”
The actual song can be found below. It will also appear on Jagged City’s new EP, “There Are More Of Us, Always,“ which will be released on January 30. Guitarist Jake Woodruff said the following about the single:
“‘Imaginary Lines‘ is a meditation on how all lines are imaginary – all borders are fake, all classifications are arbitrary, all divisions aren’t real. We are all connected, and any line made by force and power is a denial of that. Musically, this is the first full song on the record, and Urian nailed the groove – it feels natural, even though it’s in 5. I love how the chime-like guitar and fuzzed-out bass tones came together with the drum groove to form a cohesive, intimate, natural-sounding song.”
