Sludge metal group Chat Pile unveiled their music video for “Tropical Beaches, Inc.” today.
The visual, which can be seen below, was directed by The Twyford-Rigleys. The band said this about the visual:
"Tropical Beaches, Inc. is a favorite among the band, and probably the song that's the most fun to play live. It has some of the dumbest riffs on the whole album and we gleefully lose a couple brain cells every time we play it.
The song itself is about the poisonous quest for endless wealth and status in America as seen through the eyes of late MLM pitchman Don Lapre. The Twyford-Rigleys worked out their own incredible interpretation of the song with this labor of love and managed to capture the spirit behind 'Tropical Beaches, Inc.' in their own very cool way. We absolutely love the DIY, midnight-movie vibe of the video, which speaks to our deep-cut VHS loving hearts!"
Chat Pile will support Lingua Ignota on their sold-out headlining tour later this month. Following the trek, the band will have appearances at Roadburn Festival and Oblivion Access. Tour dates can be seen below.
