Chat Pile have released two new songs on Seattle label Sub Pop: “Masks” and a cover of Nirvana’s “Sifting.” Both tracks will appear on the limited-edition 7″ the Oklahoma City band announced back in December. Give them a listen below.
“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,” Chat Pile said in a press statement. “We wanted to cover a song from the early Sub Pop era, and something off Bleach seemed the obvious choice.” To mark the release, the band donated $3,000 to the community-based immigrant justice organization DREAM Action OK. Their statement also noted: “Most importantly, FUCK ICE!”
Chat Pile shared their most recent solo LP, Cool World, in 2024. Last year, they also dropped a collaborative album with Texas fingerstyle guitarist Hayden Pedigo, In The Earth Again. Their debut, God’s Country, came out in 2022.
