Oklahoma City’s favorite sons Chat Pile have announced that their third LP, Who Loves the Sun, will arrive on September 4 via The Flenser. “This record focuses on my grievances with the modern world,“ said the band’s vocalist Ray B of their follow-up to last year’s full-length Hayden Pedigo collab. “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.”
Regarding first single “Deep Blue,” bassist Stin said: “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 Squier 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?”
