If you’re old to be thinking about music as a career,
there’s a good chance that you grew up at a time when The Album was still an
iconic point of reference in pop culture. You’ve probably fantasized about your
debut being compared to Dark Side of the Moon in Rolling Stones or being called
the definitive work of the Alt-Castrati genre in SPIN. I’m sorry to say that
the odds are stocked higher against than at just about any other time period. This
is largely because almost no one is buying them except for maybe the other
people in your band. If you focus on producing an EP or single every two or
three months, you’ll be able to keep people engaged while you slowly build your
groundbreaking debut. But one interesting thing to think about is that until
the 60s, The Single dominated music culture, so what will be the Internet-Age
equivalent of The Album?
