Chat Pile have dropped a new single, Same Rules, which they say was the result of a challenge to write a trip-hop song that they purportedly failed.
Explaining that their new song is “the first real Chat Pile song mostly recorded on 4-track cassette”, bassist Stin says: “[Vocalist] Ray B. had given us the challenge to write a trip-hop song, and this is what we came up with. Unfortunately, he’s rejected Same Rules from the challenge as he claims it’s not trip-hop at all, and that we have to try again. Perhaps we’ll get it right next time.”
Ray B. adds: “Everyone needs to read as much as possible. There is so little emphasis put on knowledge right now — it is your most important tool. Engagement with the world might lead to death, but shutting off and staring at your phone all day is suicide.”
