Keep in Touch Subscription Review – May 2015
Keep in Touch is a new subscription service that sends a monthly postcard that you can play on your turntable! How unique! I was completely intrigued when I heard about this subscription, and rushed out to get a subscription for myself and my best friend.
My Subscription Addiction pays for this subscription. (Check out the review process post to learn more about how we review boxes).
The Subscription: Keep in Touch
The Cost: $65 per year (at this time, they appear to only do annual subscriptions)
The Products: One postcard per month featuring original artwork and a song that can be played on your turntable, plus an mp3 download code for the song.
Ships to: US
This was the fifth mailing from Keep In Touch. After February’s mailing, I decided to stop trying to play these on my record player. They play really, really poorly, and I’m afraid they will damage my system somehow.
What I LOVE about this subscription, aside from the concept, is the artwork! This is the first time it’s had a photography component, and I think it might be my favorite artwork yet! The artist is not listed, though! They started listing the artist on the reverse in March, and I assumed they would continue doing that. I will email KIT to see if I can find out who it is.
This month’s song is “two beautiful ways of moving your hands (excerpt)” by Ricky Eat Acid. I am not a fan of the band / artist name, but this song is absolutely GORGEOUS! I love it! It’s an experimental electronic piece that sounds as if it’s sampled some string arrangements and then rearranged them all electronically, with some other sounds layered in.
The Verdict: This is my favorite month of KIT so far! I love it!
What do you think of Keep in Touch?
Good to know! Thanks sc!
It looks like they dropped their prices? I’ve been thinking about this one and decided to at least check out the website. It showed $55 (shipping included).
