Funk rock outfit Vulfpeck thinks it can make enough money from Spotify to not only cover the costs of an entire tour, but to not have to charge admission to any of the shows.
The band has released an album of complete silence — no sounds whatsoever — on Spotify and is encouraging fans to listen to it while they sleep. The 10-track, 316-second album is appropriately titled “Sleepify.”
Since Spotify pays Vulfpeck a half a cent per stream, Vulfpeck calculates that a users can help the band earn $4 by streaming “Sleepify” on repeat during a seven-hour sleep session.
