As they prepare for the release of their highly-anticipated sophomore LP Cool World, Oklahoma City noise rock quartet Chat Pile have revealed the album's third single "Funny Man." 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," says Chat Pile frontman Raygun Busch. Bassist Stin adds, "My favorite thing about 'Funny Man' is that we've finally accomplished creating our version of the ultimate Beavis and Butthead couch music. This is like our 'Thunderkiss '65' or 'Existence is Punishment.'"

The new single arrives with a music video by multi-disciplinary artist Matt Rosenbaum. Stin comments, "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."

The latest single is the third from their forthcoming sophomore LP "Cool World" due out October 11, 2024 and follows previously released singles "I Am Dog Now" and "Masc". Check out the crushingly noisy riff and heavy groove on new single "Funny Man" below.
