In the Earth Again is a collaborative studio album between the rock band Chat Pile and musician Hayden Pedigo. It was released on October 31, 2025, by the labels Computer Students and The Flenser to universal acclaim from critics.
Background and recording During the summer of 2024, Hayden Pedigo and his wife moved from Amarillo to Oklahoma City where Chat Pile were based. Pedigo, looking to make some new friends in the area, contacted Chat Pile via Instagram, and Stin, the band's pseudonymous bassist, 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.
