Pitchfork Media, a Chicago-based site that offers independent music news, reviews and other content, announced on Tuesday that it plans to launch Pitchformk.tv, a Web-based music video channel next month that will offer “mini-documentaries, secret rooftop and basement sessions, full concerts, exclusive interviews, and the most carefully curated selection of music videos online.”

The channel, which will launch in beta on April 7, also plans to feature a different feature-length film each week, to include “LoudQuietLoud,” which documents the 2004 Pixies reunion tour, and “Ultimate Reality,” a visual art project by Dan Deacon and Jimmy Joe Roche.

Pitchfork.tv also plans to add features like personal playlists, and will later this year be integrated with its parent site at Pitchforkmedia.com.
