## Caption

deerhoof will remove their entire catalogue from Spotify, the band revealed today in a statement. Their decision is in part a response to a recent $694 million investment made by Spotify chief executive Daniel Ek's investment fund Prima Materia into a company called Helsing, a German company specializing in A.I. software used in military operations and decision-making.⁠
⁠
"'Daniel Ek uses $700 million of his Spotify fortune to become chairman of AI battle tech company' was not a headline we enjoyed reading this week," the band's statement begins. "We don't want our music killing people. We don't want our success being tied to AI battle tech." ⁠
⁠
The takedown of Deerhoof's music from Spotify won't be instantaneous, but the band are working to make sure that it happens "as soon as possible."⁠
