Pitchfork goes into print with new quarterly magazine

Whoa. They might just be rubbing it in, guys. In an era that has seen print media musical giants like SPIN and Vibe collapse under their own weight, it's a little weird to see the uber-hip tastemakers at Pitchfork heading in the other direction. The website, which has been gradually expanding over the last year, will soon make its first foray into print with a quarterly magazine.

With contributions from the Pitchfork staff and edited by J.C. Gabel of Stop Smiling and The Chicagoan, The Pitchfork Review is designed and conceptualized in-house, and printed locally in Chicago. This beautifully designed, limited-run publication on high quality paper stock is meant to be kept on your shelf and read and enjoyed over the long term. While we remain committed to covering the world of independent music and beyond, as well as innovating in the digital sphere, we've always been huge fans of the print medium. The Pitchfork Review will allow us to extend our passion for music, images, and storytelling into a new arena.

Subscriptions are available here. 

As someone who dislikes Pitchfork in general, but longs for the days of picking up a stack of glossy music mags and losing an afternoon, chances are I will be purchasing this.
