Oklahoma City’s Chat Pile has been making waves lately on the interwebz, a darling band for the moment. What’s the fuss about?

Our highlighted track “Slaughterhouse” unfurls a grindy, metal-bent ballad of doomy slo-thrash. There are moments of darkwave, spoken word, and ambient experimentation.

But nothing on the album feels like it would be out of place if performed in the backroom of a Denny’s afterhours. Shades of Kal Marks and Eric Gaffney-penned Sebadoh songwriting.

Stream, share, buy to your heart’s content.
