Chat Pile will be releasing a new 7″ single through Sub Pop on February 6. The record will include a new song titled “Masks” and a cover of Nirvana’s “Sifting.” Pre-orders can be found via SubPop, Bandcamp, and europe.subpop.com. Another variant will also be available at live shows.

Chat Pile commented:

“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.”
