Chastity Belt have shared a new single, ‘That Guy’, their contribution to a split 7″ with Holy Wave arriving on February 7. It follows their latest album Live Laugh Love, which came out in March. Check it out below.
“We recorded this song in LA in November 2022 with a bunch of other songs that ended up on Live Laugh Love,” Julia Shapiro explained in a statement. “It didn’t quite make the cut, but I’m excited to release it now! I really love Lydia’s meandering lead guitar line. I remember her having so many different ideas of what she could do, and we were like, do them all! I wrote the lyrics after Chastity Belt had just come back from doing a bunch of touring, and I had to go back to normal life. It’s always a rough transition for me. I feel so alive on tour! There’s this one line in the song about this habit I have with music where, when I find a new song that I love, I listen to it on repeat until it no longer makes me feel anything. Like I’ve drained all the blood from it.”
