Chat Pile have put another full-length on the calendar. The Oklahoma City noise-rock band will release Who Loves The Sun on September 4 via The Flenser, and the first track from the record, Deep Blue, is streaming now through the band's Bandcamp page.
Bandcamp lists the album as a 10-track release, with preorders open now and one song available ahead of the full September release. The page also confirms the core lineup as Ray B. on vocals, L. Manhole on guitar, Stin on bass, and Cap'n Ron on drums.
The credits keep the record close to home: Bandcamp lists the album as recorded by Chat Pile and Stin, with Ben Greenberg handling the mix. Claire Hannah and Brittany Sawtelle of Nightosphere are credited with additional vocals on Intruder and Influence.
That setup tracks with the way early reports frame the record: not a clean break from Chat Pile's heavy, ugly, pressure-cooker language, but a version that pulls more visible melody and post-punk motion into the room. Deep Blue is the first proof of concept, landing as the album announcement moves through heavy-music and indie outlets.
Who Loves The Sun follows the band's 2025 collaboration with Hayden Pedigo, In The Earth Again, and their 2024 album Cool World. The new record also arrives with a busy live calendar around it, including overseas dates and a North American run later in the year.
For now, the important part is simple: Chat Pile have a new record, the first single is out, and Who Loves The Sun is no longer just a threat in the distance.
