Songs Known Together, Alone

by Pile

supported by

CrimsonEulogy92 One of my favorite musical recordings of all time, hands-down. An absolutely beautiful set of renditions of some of Pile’s best songs, but done in such a way to where the emotional impact of them is heightened to astronomical degrees while simultaneously making them incredibly warm, human and comforting. What Rick managed to do with these one-man sets is truly an accomplishment he should be proud of. The vinyl of this I have is one of my most prized possessions for the reasons listed above. Favorite track: Other Moons.

burnptcruisers An astonishing feat of creation of an intimate yet expansive space that Pile has not had within other records, potentially barring Other Moons. Favorite track: I Don't Want to Do This Anymore.

Was unsure about pre-ordering it until I heard IDWTDTA. Not all the songs are that different from their originals, but they're tackled from a much more open, stripped down way that puts all the focus on the notes themselves. Maybe don't start with it, but for a Pile fan it seems like the most surprising next move for a project that's so naturally a step in a different direction

Kevin Faetz you already know the whole album's gonna be a jam so go ahead and pre order ya dingus

Just finished my first spin of All Fiction, and Pile do it again. They somehow manage to dramatically shift tone from album to album without deviating from the hauntingly beautiful core that make them special. All Fiction is no different. A bold and fantastic new addition. Favorite Track - Forgetting meatwallet

One of the most unsettling albums i have heard in a while. Chat Pile creates a grotesque blend of noise and groove that brings me back everytime. scarface6204

I love everything about it. Front to back. I lost my copy of the CD in a vinyl sleeve in a bad breakup. It made sense. I love you. aerratic
