RELEASE DATE: 10/11/24 Like the towering mounds of toxic waste from which it gets its namesake, the music of Oklahoma City, OK, noise-rock quartet Chat Pile is a suffocating, grotesque embodiment of the existential anguish that has defined the 21st century. Though very much on-brand with Chat Pile's signature flavor of cacophonous, sludgy noise rock, the band's shift to a global thematic focus on "Cool World" not only compliments the broader experimentations it employs with their songwriting, but also how they dissect the album's core theme of violence. Besides stylistically stretching the boundaries of the Chat Pile sound, "Cool World" is also the band's first record to have someone else handle mixing duties, with Ben Greenberg (Uniform) capturing and further amplifying the quartet's unmistakably outsider and folk-art edge. Track Listing: 1. I Am Dog Now 2. Shame 3. Frownland 4. Funny Man 5. Camcorder 6. Tape 7. The New World 8. Masc 9. Milk Of Human Kindness 10. No Way Out
