Chat Pile announce new album ‘Who Loves The Sun’
CHAT PILE have announced a brand new album!
Titled Who Loves The Sun, the upcoming third full-length from the Oklahoma City, Oklahoma noise rock quartet is set for release later this year. The new record follows 2024’s Cool World, further cementing the band’s rise as one of the most vital heavy acts to emerge from the 2020s underground.
Speaking about the new album, vocalist Raygun states, “this record focuses on my grievances with the modern world, AI, genocide, climate change, the power elite, $$$$ hoarding pigs – all that shit fucks up your life and mine. The band is definitely stretching out their abilities on the album and I too felt inspired to go further- as a huge fan of Boston, I like to think Brad Delp is somewhere up there, smiling down, as I take the layering to new heights, but who can say? We have fun with it.”
Bassist Stin adds, “this album contains a healthy dose of the usual CHAT PILE airing of grievances against the state of the world, but deeper at it’s heart I feel Who Loves the Sun is grappling with the challenges of trying to keep one’s humanity in a time of extreme anti-humanity.”
As a first taste of the album, the band have released the new single Deep Blue. Stin comments on the track, “this is the first track we wrote for the album and the one that helped set the tone for the whole thing. I personally love this because it sounds like CHAT PILE doing a Billy Squire song. It’s our Lonely is the Night, which is actually a fake LED ZEPPELIN song so who knows what the hell we’re actually doing here?”
Raygun further elaborates, “technology is rapidly ruining our lives, all promise seemingly squandered on the worst things, like killing people, wasting resources, destroying art- shrinking our brains and pulling us further apart than ever before.”
