Interactive Music Websites: From Queens of the Stone Age to Jeff Buckley
Queens of the Stone Age launched an interactive website for their upcoming album 'Villains', set for release on August 25, 2017. The site features a vintage TV with a static-filled screen and a tuning knob that lets users switch through up to 17 channels of video clips and sound bursts. This follows Sony's 2013 interactive video for Bob Dylan's 'Like a Rolling Stone', where viewers could change channels among 16 options without interrupting the song. More recently, Foo Fighters created an interactive site for their album 'Concrete and Gold', releasing September 15, 2017, allowing fans to build a custom playlist. The Jeff Buckley Collection website offers the complete discography of the late singer, enabling users to browse shelves, view album spines and covers, stream clips, and open tracks on Spotify.
