\"screen-shot-2015-01-06-at-10-30-43-am_opt\"Chastity Belt is sorta like if Ty Segall\u2019s hypothetical moody cousin were to grab some of her girlfriends and start a band. In IDC (9) lead singer, Julia Shapiro, poses the question, \u201cIs it cool not to care?\u201d and responds later \u201cI don\u2019t care\u201d. This four-piece female band weaves a heavy dosage of emotion deep into their music to create musical complexities in that nonchalant way.<\/p>\n

Their Northwestern roots\/influence cloud over their music and flowing guitar riffs, omnipresent bass and clean drums. All of which is carried by the Courtney Barnett-esque somewhat lackadaisical vocals, which contain loaded lyricism. It\u2019s an odd mixture to try and summarize, but it all makes sense when it you hear it. Trust me.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s the sort of thing that I want to crank up on a rainy day in a cabin in the woods. Just sink into a sofa take it all in, then get up and dance it all off.<\/p>\n

You really can\u2019t go wrong. But, so I don\u2019t lead you astray The Thing (6) and Drone (1) open with definite Segall influences. Joke (7) is a little more upbeat and instrumental, while IDC (9) counters it out. It\u2019s a true album just waiting to be explored, so do it. And, keep this band on the front tip of your tongue for the future.
