Chastity Belt and Holy Wave announce split 7-inch
Chastity Belt and Holy Wave have joined forces for a new split 7-inch.
Announced today, the split, which will arrive on February 7 via Suicide Squeeze Records, features each band contributing one song; Chastity Belt delivered "That Guy" while Holy Wave brought “Time Crisis Too.” “That Guy” is available on digital services right now. “Time Crisis Too” will arrive on the split’s release week.
Chastity Belt vocalist Julia Shapiro said this about “That Guy”:
"We recorded this song in LA in November 2022 with a bunch of other songs that ended up on 'Live Laugh Love.' 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."
Pre-orders for the physical 7-inch can be made right now here. The release will be limited to 1,000 copies (400 yellow vinyl, 300 red vinyl, and 300 green vinyl).
