Pile's official debut album, Jerk Routine was originally released in the summer of 2009, a solo effort from Rick Maguire that blended folk, Americana, indie rock, and post-punk influences seamlessly into a warm and highly infectious record of infinitely repeatable front porch rock songs. Capturing Maguire's songwriting skills at their most pure, Jerk Routine became a fan favorite of long time fans and a welcome surprise for newcomers and those introduced to the record through Maguires solo performances which continue to draw heavily from this album. Released on vinyl for the first time, the album remains an important look into the natural progression of Pile's influences.
