If you’ve ever thought to yourself, ‘music gives me life,’ well, now it can keep you going in the afterlife.
Spotify has teamed up with US canned water brand Liquid Death to create what might be the most on-brand collector’s item of the year: a limited-edition urn with a built-in wireless speaker.
Designed as both a resting place and a sound system, the speaker-urn hybrid is available exclusively in the US in limited quantities. It’s being positioned as the first wireless speaker designed to carry your music taste into the post-life.
The Bluetooth urns have already sold out across the US and are fittingly in a better place now.
The concept is simple, if slightly surreal. The urn stores your ashes, while a speaker embedded in the lid plays your carefully curated eternal soundtrack.
Whether that soundtrack leans more toward “heavenly choir” or “depths of hell” depends entirely on your playlist.
How does it work?
To complete the experience, Spotify has created an “Eternal Playlist Generator”.
Users answer questions like “What’s your eternal vibe?” and “What’s your go-to ghost noise?” Based on those responses and your listening history, Spotify generates a personalised mix designed to soundtrack life and beyond.
@jennaezarik Probably my first and last ever urn unboxing 😂 Spotify collaborated with liquid death to make this very special urn speaker! You can actually make your own eternal playlist, so go check that out @Spotify! @Liquid Death #gifted ♬ original sound – Jenna
There is, however, a catch.
The collector’s urn comes with a price tag of approximately AUD $707.
For comparison, a standard urn would cost significantly less. But if you’re willing to invest in premium post-life audio, this might just be your final upgrade.
After all, if you’re going all out, you may as well go out and get a $AUD 3,995 Supreme-branded casket to pair it.
