Oklahoma City noise-rock band Chat Pile announces their fourth full-length album, Who Loves the Sun, and releases the first single, “Deep Blue.” Multiple outlets report the album is scheduled for release on September 4. Alongside the album announcement, the band also announces a US tour, though specific dates and venues are not included in the provided excerpts.

The news coverage places the announcement in the context of recent releases and activity. Sources note that Chat Pile has released music frequently in the years since their national breakthrough during the pandemic era. They also reference last year’s collaboration project In The Earth Again with Hayden Pedigo, described as a shift in sound. Earlier this year, the band released “Masks,” an anti-ICE song, and also issued a cover of Nirvana’s “Sifting” as part of a Sub Pop single.

With Who Loves the Sun, the band continues its run of new material and pairs the release with tour plans and the new single “Deep Blue.”
