We're extending our 1/3 off the Sound & Vision subscription until January 1st, 2022. Need a last minute Christmas present or fancy treating yourself? Then read on...

==================================

Over the last year or so the Quietus’ Sound & Vision tier has brought subscribers ear-boggling, mind-warping, brand new, exclusive albums and EPs by such sonic luminaries as Sleaford Mods, GNOD, JK Flesh, Alison Cotton, VÄLVĒ and musicians from Wire, the Kim Gordon band, Factory Floor, Grumbling Fur and Vanishing Twin (not to mention remixes by Xtnddwrk, Manni Dee and Lone Taxidermist) straight to their inboxes.

And now, for the rest of this year, we’re offering you a chance to switch up to this marvellous top tier subscription, at the bargainous rate of only £150 instead of £240 a year… a saving of 37.5%!

Or, alternatively you can take out a sub for just £16 per month instead of £24… which is still a saving of 33%!

And because from September 2021 onwards we pledged to bring Sound & Vision subscribers a landmark release once per month, this means that anyone who takes advantage of this seasonal offer will receive 12 albums or EPs delivered straight to their inboxes over the course of the year.

While we’re keeping some very, very cool names under wraps for the time being, those who sign up will, over the next year, be getting exclusive, specially commissioned work from the likes of:

Matmos Siavash Amini Shit & Shine France Perc Teleplasmiste

And all of this glorious music is part and parcel with the full Low Culture range of perks which include 12 Low Culture podcasts [previous guests include Nicky Wire talking about Echo And The Bunnymen; Shirley Collins on O Brother, Where Art Thou?; Nadine Shah on Robert Palmer; and Tariq Goddard on The Sisters Of Mercy], 12 Low Culture essays [previously including Noel Gardner on Viz; David Keenan on Arthur C. Clarke’s Mysterious World; Adelle Stripe on Julian Cope; and Daniel Spicer on Elvis], 12 exclusive playlists and 12 Organic Intelligence newsletters which features tQ’s favourite people taking a deep dive into their record collections to offer you DJ bag gold, Discogs bargains and all-back-to-mine nuggets. That’s a total of 60 perks per calendar year! And that’s before we even get to the now huge archive of Low Culture goodies which you can access the second your subscription is activated.

And anyone who signs up today on December 20, will only have to wait a matter of hours before they receive their first EP: an all new work by Roger Robinson and Richard Skelton, delivered straight to their inbox on the morning of the Winter solstice.

All in all that’s a damn good deal… let’s make some noise for tQ’s Sound & Vision Winter subscription offer! Click here to subscribe. [LINK: https://thequietus.com/articles/28506-membership]

This offer runs, inclusively, from Monday 15 November 2021 to Saturday 1 January 2022 and is open to everyone.

tQ Membership Perks

Low Culture podcasts: These are available via all your usual podcast delivery platforms. If you log in to the Steady backend, you'll be able to find a URL that you can use to subscribe, just as you would with any other podcast. You can also listen via a player inside the Steady platform.

Low Culture essays: These are all in the Low Culture page linked above. The first time you access one, you'll come across the Steady paywall blocking standard users from reading the article. All you need to do to read it is log in with your Steady username and password, and you're away.

Sound & Vision releases: If you're a top tier subscriber, you'll be getting twelve exclusive music releases per year. These will arrive in your email inbox via PromoJukebox, a tool used by the music biz to send out promo releases. You'll be able to download the record once. Each release is exclusively available to our subscribers for three months. You can of course keep the MP3s, but please don't share them – all the audio is watermarked so we'll know where any leakiness is coming from.

Playlists: At the start of every month, we'll be sending out an email reminding you of the perks of the past four weeks and those that'll be arriving in the coming month – do look out for that. Your huge playlist of all the new music we've been loving from the past month will also come in this email, as well as being shared in the Low Culture strand on the site – here's that link again.

Organic Intelligence newsletters: These are all in the Low Culture page linked above. The first time you access one, you'll come across the Steady paywall blocking standard users from reading the article. All you need to do to read it is log in with your Steady username and password, and you're away.
