Bandcamp users will have the opportunity to purchase a range of album-related merchandise items, caps and wearable artwork for now, all of which include a scannable ‘BUMP™’ tag.

The BUMP™ tag leads to an online link to register the owner on a secure website that will, initially, give access to a selected audio track from the FORENSICS album, replay of the live stream video, and the album art. This approach to putting out new material is the one of a number of upcoming releases intended to inextricably link the acquisition of music to the artwork, apparel and supporting video footage.

Tickets for the livestream performance are on sale now. The live stream costs $9.99, and will be available for replay to viewers for 48 hours after the event.
