Chat Pile & Hayden Pedigo - In the Earth Again (2025)
In the Earth Again is a stark, friction-driven collaboration that thrives on contrast rather than synthesis. Chat Pile’s bleak, confrontational presence is set against Hayden Pedigo’s sparse, open guitar work, creating an exposed and uneasy listening environment. The album resists blending its elements, allowing tension to remain unresolved.
The record unfolds with restraint, using repetition and minimalism to sustain pressure. Guitar passages feel desolate and unadorned, while the vocals introduce weight without catharsis. Instead of building toward conventional climaxes, the album maintains a steady sense of unease through refusal and subtraction.
What gives In the Earth Again its strength is commitment. The album holds its mood without dilution, functioning less as a set of songs than as a continuous, uncomfortable space shaped by contrast and restraint.
