Chat Pile - God’s Country: Blue (750)

[planningforburial]

An anniversary. Though not as signification as a few others happening within PFB later this year, still, an anniversary. I believe it’s healthy to look back on the past but not to spend too much time analyzing it, just gotta keep marching forward towards the end.

With that said i know ive made jokes over the years but I never actually thought there’d be this long of a span of time between full lengths for me. I’ve found life often gets in the way or I’m incredibly lazy if I have free time. plus in my own mind I’ve been living under the imaginary (though maybe rooted in some reality) crushing weight of expectations of following up an album like this. I’ll probably talk about those same things later in the year, maybe next year or maybe never again because I’ll have moved past the thought.

The thing is, I’m still extremely proud of this album and the songs. I still enjoy playing this stuff live. If this were my last record I’d be going out in my eyes at a high point. I will say thanks endlessly to my wife who had to deal with me making this in our cramped living space at the time and all the support over the years. To @theflenser for believing in it and to any of you who have listened to it or grabbed it on some sort of format, came to a show, sent a message etc.

With that said, yes there will be a new LP more than likely next year as I’m currently chipping away at recording it.

Until then The Flenser has been gracious enough to do another pressing of the album and they look incredible.

IN A MINUTE:

A NEW MUSIC ROUND_UP…

“IN THE HOUSE OF ANGEL FLESH” is a choice cut from @agriculture_music’s recently released EP titled ‘Living Is Easy’ (@theflenser) & it finds the LA-based quartet of Daniel Meyer-O’Keeffe (guitar/vox), Leah B. Levinson (bass/vox), Richard Chowenhill (guitar) & Kern Haug (percussion) building “on themes of community care & interrelation that we’ve explored elsewhere” across 5+ mins of searingly screamO’d, jarringly dissonant & earnestly ecstatic BlkMetal.

@alexeishishkin_ are here w/ “BERMUDA,” the second single from their forthcoming LP titled ‘Open Door Policy’ (5/28 @candlepin_records) & it finds the Queens-based artist, rounded out here by Graham W. Bell (guitar/vox), Bradford Krieger (production/guitar/vox/drums), Dave Kahn (bass), Ian Dwy (drums), Bill Waters (guitar/keys) & Ivan Rodriguez (sax) bringing that ramshackle’d charm across 2 ½ mins of suavely slacker’d & back_porch’d Indie.

“FEELING LESS HUMAN” is the lead track on CALVIN LEE’s recently released EP titled ‘5 Songs’ & it finds the Los Angeles-based artist Jeff Kleinman (@choirboyslc@therealgammaworld) in full ass observation mode while kicking rocks, smoking rando cigs & trying coffee again across a 2:38 clip of kraut anchored, deliciously deadpanned & stoically strutted NeuWave.

@genevaxjacuzzi is here w/ a brand new standalone single titled “DRY” (@daisrecords) & it finds the Los Angeles-based multimedia artist bringing the “retro-futurist body music” vibes across 3 ½ smoke-machine-ready mins of sensually synthetic, moodily cryptic & vivaciously vaporous DancePop.

@worldnewsgram are here w/ a brand new standalone single titled “RED” & it finds the London-based quartet jangle_poppin across 4 ½ aesthetically dialed mins of jovially jumped_up, beautifully blossomed & earnestly cooed IndieRock.

Starting Friday I'm playing a few shows to close out the 2017 calendar year. 2018 will be slow for the first few months as I will only be playing a handful of shows leading up to the Roadburn performance in April.

IN A MINUTE: // A POST_PUNK_ISH EXPRESS…

@agriculture_music are back w/ “LIVING IS EASY,” the lead single/title-track from their forthcoming EP (4/28 @theflenser) & it finds the LA-based quartet of Daniel Meyer-O’Keeffe (guitar/vox), Leah B. Levinson (bass/vox), Richard Chowenhill (guitar) & Kern Haug (percussion) further refining their sound across 7+ transformative mins of ghastly howled & sonically swirled EcstaticBlkMetal.

“HER” is a choice cut from @frenchpoliceband’s recently released LP titled ’Bully’ & it finds the Chicago-based trio of lead guitarist Manny Herrera, bassist Jesse Flores & vocalist/guitarist Brian Flores bad_boying across a sub 3 min slice of giddily bounced, vampily crooned & Gothically hued NüWave.

“I STILL FEEL ALONE ALL THE TIME” is the latest single from @holywiremusic’s forthcoming LP titled ‘The Ending of An Age’ (6/5 @alacarterecords_) & it finds Alain Paradis’ Austin-based project living that “New Wave or something like it” lyfe across a 4:23 clip of sensually melancholic NüRomance.

@lvsterband are here w/ a brand-new standalone single titled “MISSING YOU” (@theefuneralparty) & it finds the Los Angeles-based outfit hypnotically weaving their way into our mealy minds across 4 ½ mins of six-string swirling, moodily mad_chestering & head bobbingly lit ShüGaze. 

“KISS AT DUSK” is the title-track from @wisteria_la’s recently released EP & it finds the Los Angeles-based project wistfully echoing across a 3 ½ darkly lit mins of dreamily vaporous, new_romanticized & night_driven SynthPop.
