Chat Pile – “Same Rules”
One of the nice things about my job is that I get to post new Chat Pile songs all the damn time. The Oklahoma City noise-rockers are riding a serious hot streak. They put out lots of music, and that music is always good. Next month, they'll drop the new LP Who Loves The Sun , and we've already posted the singles " Deep Blue " and " PEN I S MALL ."

The Oklahoma City noise-rock band Chat Pile continues to drop new music frequently, with their latest single "Same Rules" set to release next month on their forthcoming album "Who Loves The Sun." This track, described by bassist Stin as their "first real Chat Pile song mostly recorded on 4-track cassette," was initially a response to a challenge to create a trip-hop song.
However, Ray B., the band's singer, has since rejected the single from the challenge, stating it doesn't fit the trip-hop genre. Despite this, the band members seem to enjoy the song's unique attempt at blending styles. Singer Ray B. also emphasizes the importance of knowledge and engagement in the world, contrasting it with the detrimental effects of disconnection and addiction to technology.
The accompanying music video, directed by Bug Mane, is a dark parody of the upcoming film "Digger," starring Tom Cruise and directed by Alejandro González Iñárritu.
