Review
Well, holy shit! Chat Pile's 'Cool World' is one hell of a ride, and I mean that in the best possible way. This ain't your grandma's easy listening, folks - it's a gut-punching, ear-shredding journey through the underbelly of our fucked-up world.
Drawing inspiration from that trippy 90s flick 'Cool World', these noise-rock maniacs have cooked up a soundscape that's as unsettling as it is addictive. Raygun Busch's vocals are like a banshee wail cutting through the chaos, spitting out lyrics that'll make you question everything from your sugar intake to your sanity.
The band's teamed up with Ben Greenberg from Uniform for the production, and hot damn, it shows. Tracks like 'I Am Dog Now' and 'Funny Man' hit you like a freight train of distortion, while 'Camcorder' is this epic mind-fuck that'll leave you feeling like you've just watched the world implode in slow motion. It's clear these guys aren't just making noise for the sake of it - they're painting a picture of a world gone to shit, and they're using every sonic tool in their arsenal to do it. - Sydney
