Dead Can Dance are making a powerful statement: Lisa Gerrard and Brendan Perry have announced they will "no longer support streaming platforms that continue to exploit artists and promote AI-generated music."
Instead, the duo is launching a monthly song series throughout 2026 – exclusively on Bandcamp and their own label Holy Tongue Records. Each release comes with digital artwork and lyrics as a PDF.
The first track 'Our Day Will Come' is available now. Classic Dead Can Dance: transcendental sounds where Perry's distinctive voice and Gerrard's incomparable vocal artistry merge into something timeless.
Notably, 50 percent of the proceeds from the single go to Medical Aid For Palestinians (MAP) – a humanitarian organisation providing medical aid in Palestine.
At a time when major streaming services increasingly push AI-generated content, Dead Can Dance's move is a strong statement. For fans, it means: a new song every month, directly from the artists, no algorithms in between.
