[PREORDER] Chat Pile - Who Loves The Sun

Baby Blue Vinyl

Who Loves The Sun is the third full-length from Chat Pile, the Oklahoma City quartet of Raygun Busch (vocals), Luther Manhole (guitar), Stin (bass), and Cap'n Ron (drums) — one of the defining heavy acts of the 2020s underground. Their debut God's Country mapped a particularly American dread and the follow-up Cool World widened out to global systemic violence; this record peels the skin back on collective indifference, spanning coastlines devouring cities, dead-end jobs, and submission to data-driven inauthenticity.

The band approached the songwriting with hooks in mind this time, folding melodic tones of pre-2000s indie rock, alt-rock, and new wave into their noise rock — from the blood-soaked vocal passages of "Christabel '26" to the eerie trip-hop pulse of "Same Rules." The cover photo says the rest: Devon Tower looming over the Oklahoma City skyline while a burnt-out storefront fills the foreground.

This pressing is on baby blue vinyl, released September 4, 2026 on The Flenser.
