Background and recording
During the summer of 2024, Hayden Pedigo and his wife moved to Amarillo, Texas, where Chat Pile was based. Pedigo, looking to make some new friends in the area, contacted Chat Pile via Instagram, and Stin, the band's pseudonymous drummer, invited him to watch a local band's show. Following the meetup, Pedigo began spending time at Stin's house, which was a block away from his, meaning that Pedigo could arrive for collaboration "on a minute’s notice," according to Stin in an interview with Paste. In December of that year, Pedigo and Chat Pile gathered in Stin's house and began planning a collaborative studio album which would eventually become In the Earth Again.[2]
