Masks

Sub Pop and Oklahoma City noise-rock powerhouse Chat Pile present a limited-edition 7" single featuring two studio tracks: one brand new original, and the other a burly reimagining of the early Nirvana song "Sifting." The new pressing of the single is on blue marble vinyl, while supplies last. Sub Pop is thrilled that Chat Pile graced us with these two massive songs, and we couldn't be happier to add them to the list of greats who have released a Sub Pop 7". The band kindly shared their perspective on this release, so we'll let them elaborate further! "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. (Perhaps next time we'll take on a TAD song!)"P.S. - Fuck ICE."
