Since then, Pile’s released eight acclaimed albums, each showcasing differentfacets of its members’ talents.Dripping, the post-hardcore 2012 breakthrough, encapsulated thefrenetic power of epic basement gigs. 2017’sA Hairshirt of Purposetwisted Pile’s angularitiesfor greater clarity, incorporating strings without losing menace. Connery’s temporary departureafter this record brought respected engineer and peer Alex Molini in on bass; the electronicexperimentalism ofAll Fiction(2023) deepened the production relationship between Maguireand Molini, proving the band’s exploratory commitment as lifelong. That doesn’t scratch Pile’sdozen other releases, including B-side compilations, outtake EPs, demo cassettes, and livereworkings.
