Cool World [Highlighter Yellow Vinyl]

by Chat Pile

Overview

With their 2022 debut album, God's Country, Oklahoma City band Chat Pile presented a vivid and tormented breed of sludge metal power, marked by uncommonly discernible lead vocals that looked sociopolitical horrors dead in the face. Their second album, Cool World, is an even more clearly defined rendering of the group's sound. The influence of '90s heavy music institutions like the Melvins and Nirvana is even more pronounced, with opening track "I Am Dog Now" hitting with the churning intensity of the Jesus Lizard and "Frownland" all but quoting a Nirvana riff from In Utero. As with God's Country, clearly audible lyrics address the horrors and isolation of a capitalist society, this time around even adding hints of melody and ugly hooks. The production throughout is more varied and rife with tension, bringing Chat Pile's dire perspectives into a sharper focus. ~ Fred Thomas
