A Hairshirt of Purpose
“A Hairshirt of Purpose is a remarkable, disorienting and rewarding listen that captures a band in their mature, creative prime.”
Green and Gray
“At 53 blurry, delirious minutes, it's a lot to take in. (Better suited for that might be the more melodious, less dense Dripping or this record's chronological and spiritual predecessor, A Hairshirt of Purpose.) But it's a strong step forward, and offers no more or less than exactly what Pile are all about. ”
Sunshine and Balance Beams
“The Boston band’s ninth album restores its former post-hardcore roar while folding in strings and pockets of tenderness that suit the songs’ mournful mood.”
