Pile have announced plans for their eighth studio album All Fiction. It's out February 17 via Exploding in Sound, and today, they've shared its first single.
The Nashville-via-Boston post-hardcore lifers teamed up with Joshua Echevarria for a music video to accompany "Loops," the record's lead track and first new material since 2021. With "Loops" as its teaser, the record further promises to be the band's most "texturally complex material yet."
Songwriter-guitarist Rick Maguire had this to say about the song:
Throughout most of Pile's existence, I've used songwriting as a means to work through personal issues and to express uncomfortable feelings in what I've perceived to be a healthy form of processing emotions. While doing this I've also been working hard to create a career in writing music. The song "Loops" is about the confusion I've experienced in the place where those two roads meet, and reflecting on whether what I'm creating is for personal growth or for personal gain has ended up leading to more questions than answers.
