Esteemed online publication, The Quietus have been marking their fifth anniversary in style recently, having already announced a celebratory show for September and some old school marketing methods. Now, they’ve announced their very own eBook.

Point Close All Quotes: A Quietus Anthology will compile the best and most interesting articles the site has had to offer so far to date, including essays on Rihanna, Pussy Riot, Frank Ocean, Kanye West, Thom Yorke and more.

It’s “an attempt to curate some articles that we felt represented the unusual and divergent interests of the Quietus in music, writing styles and so on,” says editor Luke Turner.

The eBook can be purchased by UK-based readers here and those in America here. The complete list of contents can be seen below:
