{"product_id":"chat-pile-who-loves-the-sun-lp","title":"Chat Pile \"Who Loves the Sun\" LP (pre-order)","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn a world increasingly shaped by disposable content, \u003cstrong\u003eChat Pile\u003c\/strong\u003e answers with something defiantly real and organic, a mentality that permeates \u003cem\u003eWho Loves The Sun\u003c\/em\u003e, their third full-length record. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSince the band's formation just over six years ago, the Oklahoma City-based quartet \u003cstrong\u003eChat Pile\u003c\/strong\u003e has grown from a scrappy passion project into one of the defining heavy acts to emerge from the 2020s underground. Ray B. (vocals), L. Manhole (guitar), Stin (bass), and Cap’n Ron (drums) create a crushing, crass, and cathartic take on noise rock that captures a raw, undeniably human essence in an age marked by technological overreach and the cold state of society. Nothing about \u003cem\u003eWho Loves The Sun \u003c\/em\u003efeels synthetic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhereas their debut album \u003cem\u003eGod’s Country\u003c\/em\u003e depicted a particularly American flavor of dread, and the follow up \u003cem\u003eCool World\u003c\/em\u003e showed a cruel planet defined by global systemic violence, \u003cem\u003eWho Loves The Sun\u003c\/em\u003e peels the skin back on how collective indifference defines this new century. Spanning imagery of coastlines devouring cities, dead-end jobs, and submission to data-driven inauthenticity, the album dissects the apathy-bloated state of 21st-century existence as a slow-motion apocalypse.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs with much of \u003cstrong\u003eChat Pile\u003c\/strong\u003e’s work, Oklahoma City itself looms over the album like a character, its sprawling isolation, economic contradictions, and underlying sense of decay embedded in the fabric of the record. The perfect allegory for the thematic essence of \u003cem\u003eWho Loves The Sun\u003c\/em\u003e is the photo embossed on the record’s cover, where Devon Tower, a glassy, largely vacant monolith, looms high above the Oklahoma City skyline while a burnt-out home or storefront envelops the foreground.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe album remains lyrically and sonically confrontational, but \u003cstrong\u003eChat Pile\u003c\/strong\u003e approached the songwriting with hooks in mind, drawing on melodic tones of pre-2000s indie rock, alt-rock, and new wave. From the blood-soaked vocal passages of “Christabel ‘26” to the eerie trip-hop pulse of “Same Rules,” \u003cem\u003eWho Loves The Sun\u003c\/em\u003e is deeply human despite its allusions to a dying, divided world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003ePlease note: orders containing pre-order items will be held until everything in the order is available to ship.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eYou can pre-order the next phase of Flenser releases now with the Series 9 Membership, including the rarest color vinyl editions \u003ca rel=\"noopener\" title=\"here.\" href=\"https:\/\/nowflensing.com\/products\/flenser-membership-series-nine-vinyl-edition\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ehere.\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWe are offering limited edition silk-screen printed cover art with select vinyl colors.
