Diggin' In The Digits

On Ep.37 of DITD: Posthumous Albums. Should they exist? Do you want them? Does anyone even like them? What do they need to be done right?

Show Notes

The posthumous album is something that we want and don't want in equal measure. When somebody says "Do you want never-heard-before music from an artist you like?", of course, you're going to say yes! But when that artist isn't alive to have a say, some take pause and ask themselves do they want it?

There are many places to look at posthumous albums, there are many examples, good and bad. The DITD duo discusses as many angles as possible.
