Congratulations to whoever at Universal Music Group hit on the idea of making an Instagram-like app for an artist – it’s a neat idea. Folk duo The Pierces are the beneficiaries, with their new Retropix iPhone app. “Turn your iPhone photos instantly vintage looking with different retro effects,” explains the App Store listing. “Share your Retropix with friends on Facebook and Twitter or by email straight from your handset.” The app also promotes the band’s new ‘You & I’ album with a tap-through link to Apple’s iTunes Store.
