Vocalist Ray B. stated of the new album, “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 added, “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.”

Chat Pile are previewing the new album via lead single “Deep Blue.” It’s a classic noise-rock piece, clattering and brash and with a bit of swing to it. The dour Midwestern capitalist apocalypsis still abounds with a nasty deadpan vocal delivering disturbing lyrics but the music has a bit more bounce to it, even as it descends into down-tuned oblivion.

Regarding the single, Stin noted, “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?” Ray B. added, “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.”
