Overview

  • Constellation Records confirmed the band asked to remove their catalogue from all digital platforms other than Bandcamp and said there will be no further comment.
  • The music is no longer available on Spotify or Tidal, and a Kranky representative said the two early albums still visible on Apple Music are being taken down.
  • Reports also note removals from Deezer and Amazon Music, reflecting a broad pullback from mainstream streaming outlets.
  • Bandcamp remains the sole official place to buy or stream the group’s releases digitally.
  • The move follows recent exits by Deerhoof, Xiu Xiu, and King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard, who cited Spotify CEO Daniel Ek’s fund investing in military‑AI firm Helsing; Godspeed have not issued a statement on their reasoning.
