“PEN I S SMALL” follows previous single “Deep Blue” as the second taster of a collection of songs which see the band explore the “apathy-bloated” state of today’s society, detailing its descent into an apocalyptic state.
Bassist Stin describes “PEN I S MALL” as “…the heaviest Chat Pile song to date.” He continues: “The song and title refer to a stretch of time when Raygun was working as a maintenance man at one of the local shopping malls here in OKC. He screamed himself into a pretty brutal headache tracking this one if I remember correctly.”
“If survival wasn’t so brutal in the United States, a maintenance job at a local mall could in theory be a fun gig…” vocalist Ray B. adds. “Of course, the awful beast known as Capitalism is extremely rickety with not enough to truly go around in fair share as those in the lower and even middle positions know all to well.”
