Last week, they uploaded a 10-track album of complete silence called Sleepify to Spotify. As frontman Jack Stratton explains, if someones put Sleepify on repeat before they go to bed, just 800 listens will generate $4. While that doesn\u2019t sound like much, if enough people stream the album, eventually, the band\u2019s tour will be completely funded. What\u2019s more, if this crazy idea actually does work the band will use Spotify\u2019s data to pinpoint where they should tour. The band plans promises each concert will be free.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
