R.I.P. Altered Zones

Sad news on the blogosphere front. Pitchfork's baby music site, Altered Zones, is closing shop as many of its contributors have now moved on to create their own websites, record labels, and radio programs.

Altered Zones launched last summer and paid particular attention to bands on the D-I-Y and underground fronts. Through that mission, it profiled a number of Twin Cities bands that had yet to find a sizable audience like Buffalo Moon, Food Pyramid, and Velvet Davenport. Because of the exposure, many of these bands are now well-known throughout the world.

The editors of Altered Zones will be creating a new project called Ad Hoc in 2012. Here's hoping they continue to write about the music of Minnesota.

Yes, I'm sure the station that won't play anything covered by Altered Zones unless the band gets signed to Sub Pop is just super broken up about its demise.
