They took Fugazi and made them dirty and clean, they stayed true to their American roots without making the folk tinges that emerge at the right moments trivial (in Mr. Fish tell me if you hear a passage from a De André song!), stops and turns, abrupt restarts, bumpy roads scattered with surprises, this is the Pile album, one of the absolute albums of 2015.
