Noiserock heroes CHAT PILE have revealed the details for the highly-anticipated follow up to their inexplicable breakout album God's Country (2022). The sophomore LP is titled Cool World and is packed with ten tracks and set for an official release date of October 11th via The Flenser. In addtion to the album artwork, tracklist, and pre-order information, the band has also premiered the records lead off track and first single "I Am Dog Now."
“'Cool World' covers similar themes to our last album, except now exploded from a micro to macro scale, with thoughts specifically about disasters abroad, at home, and how they affect one another,” says vocalist Raygun Busch. “If I had to describe the album in one sentence,” Busch continues, “It’s hard not to borrow from Voltaire, so I won’t resist – 'Cool World' is about the price at which we eat sugar in America.”
The video for "I Am Dog Now" was directed by Will Mecca. Stin (bass) says, "Will's vision captures the essence of 'I Am Dog Now' by channeling his specific style of low-fi, exploitation cinema aesthetic into a dusty, religious bad-trip exclusive to the southern plains of America. Eagle eyed viewers may actually notice shots of the literal chat piles from which we take our name."
