Chat Pile – Tenkiller Motion Picture Soundtrack LP

On the back of their acclaimed 2022 release, God’s Country, Oklahoma’s Chat Pile followed up with the Tenkiller Motion Picture soundtrack.
While not a proper full-length album, the Tenkiller score was written and recorded in the winter of 2020, and it waxes and wanes from the signature Chat Pile sound but also ventures into new ones— including arena country music.
The band comments, “The music we made for Tenkiller is quite a bit different than what you may come to expect from us. We were given the freedom to really experiment and explore territories that we’ve never done before.” They continue, “It’s not going to be for everyone, but we hope some of you connect with what we set out to do.”
