CHAT PILE Get Noisy On New Song, “Funny Man”

Oklahoma City noise rockers Chat Pile have officially released the third single from their upcoming second album, Cool World. Clocking in at three-and-a-half minutes, “Funny Man” is noisy, bassy-heavy and pissed off.

Vocalist Raygun Busch said this about the new song:

“[The song is about]…being a servant, indentured or otherwise. I hate having to explain the content of these songs, because I want it to mean whatever it needs to mean to those listening, but essentially it concerns illusion vs reality in regards to America and war. The title comes from an obscure British movie but otherwise there’s no relation.”

Stin, Chat Pile‘s bassist, added another perspective that includes every hesher’s favorite show.

“My favorite thing about ‘Funny Man’ is that we’ve finally accomplished creating our version of the ultimate Beavis and Butthead couch music,” Stin said. “This is like our ‘Thunderkiss ’65’ or ‘Existence is Punishment.'”

“The patient, static nature of the video fighting against the frenetic energy of the song makes for a cool and queasy juxtaposition that I personally love. Matt was able to tap into a very specific uncomfortable feeling that conjures those depressive semi-conscious dream states that we’ve all experienced but can’t quite articulate.”
