The description on the Instagram page reads: "Saving Modern Rock," and is filled with AI generated images, including recreations of famous album covers. One post is an AI-generated recreation of The Beatles' 1969 album, Abbey Road, while another is a recreation of Queen's 1974 album Queen II.

Frelon said he created The Velvet Sundown tracks using the generative-AI tool Suno before posting them on Spotify, where the band now has more than a million monthly listeners. Case settled, then. But apparently not.

Not bad for a band that didn't exist before June, and actually, doesn't really exist at all. Spotify has now changed the band's bio to confirm the music's been created using artificial intelligence, while "guided by human creative direction". "It's not a trick" - the bio states - "it's a mirror".
