Original price was: $25.99.$15.59Current price is: $15.59.Chastity Belts energy is like a circuit, circling around the silly and the sincere. Tongue-in-cheek shit-shooting and existential rumination feed into each other infinitely.
Theirs is a long-term relationship, and that loop sustains them. Thats a creative thesis in and of itself, but isnt that also just the mark of a true-blue friendship?
The band talks a lot about intention these dayshow to be more present with each other. The four-pieceJulia Shapiro (vocals, guitar, drums), Lydia Lund (vocals, guitar), Gretchen Grimm (drums, vocals, guitar) and Annie Truscott (bass)is nine years deep in this, after all. It seems now, more than ever, that circuit is a movement of intentionality, one that creates a space inside which they can be themselves, among themselves. Its a space where the euphoria of making music with your best friends is protected from the outside worlds churning expectations. Its a kind of safe zone for the band to occupy as their best selves: a group of friends who love each other.
Their fourth record, Chastity Belt, comes out of that safe space. After a restorative few months on hiatus in 2018, each member worked on solo material or toured with other bands. So much of the break was reminding ourselves to stay present, and giving ourselves permission to stop without saying when were gonna meet up again, says guitarist Lydia Lund. It was so important to have thatnot saying, were gonna get back together at this point, but really just open it up so we could get back to our present connection.
