Chat Pile have previewed their forthcoming LP Cool World with a new song called ‘Masc’. Following last month’s ‘I Am Dog Now’, the track arrives with a video directed by Stephen Mondics and produced by Mario DeLeon. Watch and listen below.
“This is our first time collaborating with Stephen Mondics and the band is completely blown away with how well he was able to capture the spirit of the song,” bassist Stin commented in a statement. “As huge movie buffs, it’s also a legitimate dream-come-true to have a music video shot completely on film under our belts.”
Vocalist Raygun Busch added: “‘Masc’ is the saddest Chat Pile song since ‘Tenkiller.’ Unlike the rest of the album, this song deals with horrors of interpersonal intimacy, yet it is connected with the rest of the record through the overarching theme of oppression, despair and malaise.”
Cool World, the follow-up to the Oklahoma City noise rock quartet’s 2022 breakout God’s Country, is out October 11 via The Flenser.
