SEVENTH (AND FINAL) MITCHFORK YEAR IN REVIEW Ok, that’s enough nostalgia there’s still one more year of music still to dissect! We’d like you all to know that, even as our passion waxed and waned, we’re grateful for each and every one of your 37 page views (looking at you, Dmitri from the Ukraine!). Throughout it all, we’ve patiently been waiting for new albums from Modest Mouse and the Wrens (both confirmed for 2015, although The Wrens are notoriously cagey). Jake, stick to the rivers and the lakes that you’re used to. Some staff members have gotten married (Shout out to Kathleen!), others have served time (Free Squires!), and one even split off to start his own misguided attempt at music blogging. Now, almost seven years later, a lot has changed. Seriously dude, everyone knows Garfunkel was the talent. Not sure whatever happened to him or them, but he was let go soon after for never shutting up about how amazing Graceland is. We began humbly back in 2008, with an adorable post from our intern Ezra promoting his new band Vampire Weekend. While we reserve the right to come out of retirement, GUNS BLAZING, we felt the time was right to ride off into a digitally rendered sunset. First things first: after several years of diligently documenting the highs and lows of a small subset of pop music commonly referred to as “indie,” Mitchfork is hanging up our collective blogging shoes.
