On [[November 18]], [[2020]], Cuomo listed two new sets on his website's [[Riverscuomo.com demos|demo storefront]], titled "The Mother Lode" and "The Mother Lode II", listing dozens of songs not previously featured on the store. After receiving feedback from fans, however, Cuomo decided to delineate the batches of demos by album cycle. On [[November 20]], he listed ''Alone IV: The EWBAITE Years'' to users for the price of $9. Users who purchased the bundle received an e-mail containing a link to a Dropbox folder assembled by Cuomo, consisting of demos and voice notes recorded in the years leading up to the release of ''[[Everything Will Be Alright in the End]]''. Later that day, Cuomo added additional images and documents, followed by several additional demos on [[November 21]]. | On [[November 18]], [[2020]], Cuomo listed two new sets on his website's [[Riverscuomo.com demos|demo storefront]], titled "The Mother Lode" and "The Mother Lode II", listing dozens of songs not previously featured on the store.

{{Rivers|Geewiz, good question. it might be as simple as: because i was able to code the market, we now have a way to make a fair, direct, simple and efficient exchange. also, we've developed a community around the market that is a good match for the demos. it's not like i'm going on good morning america trying to sell 10 lo-fi version of an obscure 20-year-old song to people who aren't even huge music fans.}}</blockquote> | {{Rivers|Geewiz, good question. it might be as simple as: because i was able to code the market, we now have a way to make a fair, direct, simple and efficient exchange. also, we've developed a community around the market that is a good match for the demos. it's not like i'm going on good morning america trying to sell 10 lo-fi version of an obscure 20-year-old song to people who aren't even huge music fans.}}</blockquote> | ||
