His entries include an erotic short story about being swallowed alive by the actor Jensen Ackles (“Formed into pure cum energy, I cascaded through his urethra like a great sloshing sea.”) and a sincere review of granola brands (“Too many seeds and ancient grains, would prefer higher oat ratio.”). Perhaps most adventurous is Perfume Genius’s Substack, on which he’s been writing experimental fiction and satire. While Neko Case’s posts have a naturalist quality: whimsical essays about magpies and milkweed, that spin off in literary directions. Recently, he wrote a short story about a man in Barcelona who falls in love with a pickpocket. Incubus frontman Boyd shares paintings, as well as cerebral diatribes on UFOS and his pandemic break-up. “Just, ‘Hey, check this out.’”īrandon Boyd, frontman for Incubus, shares paintings, short stories and general musings on Substack. “Substack is a really lovely place to share a work in progress,” he says. Jeff Tweedy, the 54-year-old frontman of Wilco shares more audio than writing, including demos, covers and drafts of original poems and lyrics. “We want to cater to people who want to read essays about music and also the people who want to know about Sara’s cats,” says Tegan.
INCUBUS BAND TEE SERIES

The results are a mix of the parasocial and the profound, that highlight the way the internet makes every musician, no matter how small, an influencer.įor between $6/month up to $200/year (nearly all also offer a generous amount of content for free), fans can receive lush descriptions of Patti Smith’s hearty pre-tour breakfasts (“Toast, olive oil, porridge and banana smoothie, side of beans, berries”) as well as chapters of her pandemic novel The Melting. Morby is among a growing number of mostly indie rock artists who’ve joined Substack in the past two years: headliners include Patti Smith, Jeff Tweedy, Perfume Genius’s Mike Hadreas, Neko Case, Tegan and Sara, Thao Nguyen, Incubus’s Brandon Boyd, and The Decemberists’ Colin Malloy.Įach of these musicians now essentially serves as the editor-in-chief of a niche online publication about themselves.
