Being a fan of an indie band is almost like making an investment: you buy the record, wear the pin or t-shirt, make more converts (but not too many!).

So, apart from some classics and obscurities, listening to a recently disbanded act feels uninteresting.

Helsinki shoegaze group Delay Trees released a great album, their fourth, and called it a day, both to surprisingly little fanfare. What’s the point?

Well, it’s a beautiful testament and perhaps it could act as a sort of memento mori: cherish and support your favourite band while they’re still here.
