Conor Oberst Track Stream

American singer Conor Oberst has launched a new scheme with his imprint Team Love offering free streams in their new virtual library, it has been announced.

Set up by Oberst, Team Love was meant to be a spanner in the works of the music industry utilising the internet in new and exciting ways. Despite releasing some great music, this revolutionary approach never occurred but the label seem keen to make up for lost time.

A statement on the label's official site reads:

"When Team Love started we had the simple and possibly self-defeating notion that posting all our albums on the website as free downloads would be a good detour around the wreckage of the music industry and a way to avoid getting bogged down in the number one topic of discussion and distraction: piracy, illegal downloads, P2P networks and so on."

"Five years later and the debate still drones in the background, and while some bands have adopted a mutated version of the “free download” (pay what you wish, etc), we’ve decided to reshape out policy in a different direction and introduce the Team Love Library. Each month (or so) we’ll be rotating the Library’s selections, featuring different Team Love albums as well as exclusive content such as unreleased songs, live or remixed versions of TL favorites."

"The library will be open to the public 24/7, and as we have an endless abundance of MP3’s (we fucked up and made too many of them), anything you take from the library is yours to keep. You will not be notified if you fail to return something on time, and you will not lose your library privileges if you share selections with friends."
