Dripping was one of my favourite albums of 2012 and I haven’t listened to anything they’ve done since. It always surprises me to hear them still trucking along and putting out new records. I should give this one a go.
Finally sat down to this. There's a bit of murk to sift through and it's a tight record, but I'm not quite feeling the wow factor from it so far and had hoped, having agreed with your diagnosis of Pile as a 'cool' band to admire from a respectful distance, that it might shake the frame
The only Pile I've heard that goes above that brief is Magic Isn't Real, ton of enduring belters on that one
Album slays for days, and is out this Friday, Aug 15th.
It's as weird and rambling and periodically heavy as any Pile release, but also more inviting than usual.
