Chat Pile Share Song From New Brothers in Christ EP: Listen

“Cut” is the first offering from the Oklahoma City band’s split EP with Kansas City’s Nerver

Oklahoma City’s Chat Pile have announced a new split EP with Kansas City’s Nerver. The four-song release is called Brothers in Christ, and it comes out April 14 (via Reptilian/The Ghost Is Clear). The first offering from the EP is Chat Pile’s “Cut,” which vocalist Raygun Busch said was inspired by Stephen King. Hear it below.

“‘Cut’ is an homage to the short fiction of King,” Busch explained, “particularly ‘The Man Who Loved Flowers,’ ‘Strawberry Spring,’ and ‘The Jaunt.’”

Chat Pile bassist Stin added, “These tracks were written and recorded after we tracked God’s Country.” He continued, “We wanted to use this release as a deliberate excuse to switch gears and fully lean into our more indie and alt-rock tendencies. Slint, Sonic Youth, Guided by Voices, and Starfish’s Stellar Sonic Solutions were certainly on our minds at the time.”
