Like the gigantic piles of toxic waste to which the band owes its name, the music of Oklahoma City noise-rock quartet Chat Pile is a crushing, grotesque embodiment of the existential angst that characterizes the 21st century. It's not surprising that a band with such an aggressive, relentless and eccentric sound has found so much resonance. Fear has replaced the American dream, and Chat Pile's music is a poignant reminder of that change - a portrait of an American rock band shaped by a society defined by its cold and cruel power structures.

"Cool World" isn't just the title of a largely forgotten (and much maligned) movie from the 90s, it's also an apt title for Chat Pile's second album. In the context of a Chat Pile album, the words are imbued with a dark ambiguity that not only conjures up images of a dying planet, but also represents an evolution of the band's previous work. The focus of their depiction of modern malaise no longer extends only to "God's country", but to humanity as a whole. "Cool World deals with similar themes to our last album, only now it's expanded from the microcosm to the macrocosm and deals in particular with disasters abroad, at home and their interactions," says singer Raygun Busch.
