"It's a true dream to put out a single on Sub Pop, and our new song 'Masks' hopefully honors the spirit of the mythical, sometimes mystical, city of Seattle. Thanks in part to the movie Hype, we have long been obsessed with Seattle, the American underground of the late '80s, and Sub Pop and their tools of world domination. Everything we learned about packaging Chat Pile, we learned from Sub Pop co-founders Jonathan Poneman and Bruce Pavitt."
"We wanted to cover a song from the early Sub Pop era, and something off Bleach seemed the obvious choice. Songs like 'Paper Cuts,' 'Negative Creep,' and especially 'Sifting' are fairly lateral to the type of sounds we make with Chat Pile. To mark the occasion, we've also donated $3,000 to DREAM Action OK, a community-based organization that aims to empower our local immigrant community through advocacy and education"
Chat Pile released a Sub Pop 7″ single featuring a new song titled 'Masks' and a cover of Nirvana's Bleach closer 'Sifting.' The band's take on 'Sifting' remains faithful while aligning with Chat Pile's caustic sound, and 'Masks' matches that intensity. A limited sea glass w/ black swirl 7″ is available in the BV shop. The band cites Seattle, the movie Hype, and late-'80s American underground influences, and credits Sub Pop co-founders Jonathan Poneman and Bruce Pavitt for packaging lessons. The band donated $3,000 to DREAM Action OK, recently collaborated with Hayden Pedigo, and plans a proper new album this year.
