Chat Pile Release “Funny Man” Single

With the release of their sophomore LP, Cool World, on the horizon, OKC noise rockers CHAT PILE have unleased new single "Funny Man." The track is the third single from the record and is presented via music video by artist Matt Rosenbaum.

"...being a servant, indentured or otherwise. I hate having to explain the content of these songs, because I want it to mean whatever it needs to mean to those listening, but essentially it concerns illusion vs reality in regards to America and war. The title comes from an obscure British movie but otherwise there’s no relation," Frontman Raygun Busch says of the track. 

Bassist Stin adds, "My favorite thing about 'Funny Man' is that we've finally accomplished creating our version of the ultimate Beavis and Butthead couch music. This is like our 'Thunderkiss '65' or 'Existence is Punishment.'"

Commenting on the video Stin continues, "The patient, static nature of the video fighting against the frenetic energy of the song makes for a cool and queasy juxtaposition that I personally love. Matt was able to tap into a very specific uncomfortable feeling that conjures those depressive semi-conscious dream states that we've all experienced but can't quite articulate."
