Chastity Belt share “Friends For This” ahead of new album
All My Friends is due 11/6 through Suicide Squeeze, following previews that paired two tracks at a time.
Seattle indie rock band Chastity Belt have released “Friends For This,” the final single ahead of their forthcoming album All My Friends. The record is scheduled for release on 11/6 through Suicide Squeeze.
Guitarist and vocalist Lydia Lund said she wrote the song’s lyrics shortly after returning from England. Having spent two years away from Seattle, she described reconnecting with friends and having sleepovers as the backdrop to the writing.
Lund said vocals were recorded in her basement with Julia, Gretchen and Samur. She also noted that Gretchen contributed wails toward the song’s end, which listeners might hear if they listen closely.
The band’s earlier previews came in pairs: “I Could Say Less” appeared alongside “Pavement,” followed by “To Decide” and “Designs.” “Friends For This” is the last single before the album arrives.
