Bandcamp Friday is back, meaning every purchase on the music platform today goes directly to artists with zero revenue cut for the company. The promotion, which started during the pandemic in 2020 when live performances dried up and musicians couldn't make a living, has become a regular event for music fans looking to support creators financially.

For those wondering what to buy, the Engadget team recommends starting with Ninajirachi's debut album I Love My Computer. Even if electronic dance music isn't usually your thing, reviewers describe it as an exuberant celebration of growing up alongside technology at the turn of the millennium—a feel-good record that works as a mood booster.

Other standout recommendations include Snail Mail's new record Ricochet from singer-songwriter Lindsey Jordan, and Tom Misch's album Full Circle. The latter's track "Sisters With Me" gets special mention as a beautiful ode the musician wrote to his sisters, perfect for more introspective listening moments.
