Chat Pile drop massive and pummeling new single "Masc" with accompanying new video

Oklahoma City noise rock quartet Chat Pile have released the album's second single "Masc" from their forthcoming LP "Cool World" due October 11, 2024, with an epic, narrative music video by Stephen Mondics (director) and Mario DeLeon (producer). Bassist Stin comments, "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. As huge movie buffs, it's also a legitimate dream-come-true to have a music video shot completely on film under our belts." Busch adds, "'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."

The new single showcases their trademark distortion filled, groove-laden noise rock sound, while incorporating new elements of shoegaze and atmospheric elements, coupled with melodic moments and big hooks to go along with it. Plain and simple, this shit rocks and sounds like a band staying true to their sound while experimenting and progressing into new territory as well. "Masc" also follows their last single "I Am Dog Now" which are both an exciting preview of the forthcoming LP, that fans of Jesus Lizard, Helmet, Rollins Band, Unsane and the like should all enjoy.
