No Bon Iver Album in Spotify? :(

Sleepymonsterrr — Sat, 24 Oct 2015 15:19:02 GMT

Hello,

My apologies if I posted in the wrong location. But I have been looking for Bon Iver albums for months now and all I can see are covers. Can anyone confirm if it was pulled out of Spotify?
They're my favorite band and it would really suck not to have them in my playlist.

Thank you!

I'm from The Philippines. Omg so this means Bon Iver is not available in my country?? The horror! Is there a way to bypass this?

No not without being in violation of Spotify's TOS.

You can try maybe contacting the artist through their social media pages and/or the label for the music to see if the material can be made available for Spotify in the Philippines. The artist's label is currently Jagjaguwar contact information here: http://www.jagjaguwar.com/contact.php

Hopefully one of these days these licensing schemes with regards to music, movies, and TV shows will go away and things will just get a world wide release day.
