Chicago indie stalwart Touch & Go plans to launch an online store this summer offering single downloads for 99 cents and full albums for $9.99. The label's entire back catalog—which includes artists like Pinback, TV On The Radio, Slint, Ted Leo, !!!, and CocoRosie—will be made available, and the site promises to be the only place online to purchase downloads from Steve Albini's bands Shellac, Rapeman, and Big Black. No word yet on whether they plan to pull albums that are already currently available on iTunes or eMusic.
