Chastity Belt – I Used to Spend So Much Time Alone
Released June 2nd, 2017
On the surface, I Used to Spend So Much Time Alone sounds like a band more at ease with themselves than ever. Chastity Belt couldn’t have made an album like this unless they were far more confident in their own right. The band’s third album is most successful in its propensity for blending lyrical dejection with musical optimism. This album coalesces all the best aspects of everything they’ve done previously into a more homogenous approach focusing less on humor, and more on the band’s ability to channel malaise, nonchalance, boredom and procrastination.
