After more than 17 years online, Pitchfork is venturing into print. Today we’re proud to announce The Pitchfork Review, a perfect-bound quarterly music publication that combines new long-form feature stories, photography, illustrations and other ephemera with selected recent pieces from Pitchfork. The first issue will be released December 14.

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.

The Pitchfork Review will be available via subscription at the publication's website and select newsstands domestically and internationally. Prior to December 15, subscriptions will be priced at an annual introductory rate of $44.99 ($49.99 after Dec. 15, 2013) and single copies will be available for $19.96 in honor of the year that Pitchfork debuted. In addition to the four quarterly editions of The Pitchfork Review, subscribers will receive exclusive digital content, invitations to special events, and a limited edition subscriber gift.
