A collaboration forged in the heart of the American Midwest, In The Earth Again unites Oklahoma City’s noise rock institution Chat Pile with Texas/Oklahoma’s visionary guitarist and composer Hayden Pedigo. What began as a casual split release idea spiraled into a thirty-six-minute album that threads their contrasting sensibilities into something entirely new.
Pedigo’s panoramic, primitive guitar, meets Chat Pile’s industrial decay, creating arecord that explores unknown emotional registers and atmospheric depth for both, In The Earth Again sounds like a post-apocalyptic transmission from rural nowhere. Instead of making concessions, the five artists work as a single unit, and each decision is made in support of the greater vision. The result is both intimate and expansive, a tribute to the modern wasteland. Cover art by Malcom Byers.
