About This Item
Seattle's Chastity Belt and Austin's Holy Wave split a dreamy 7-inch for Suicide Squeeze Records. Chastity Belt's offering, InchThat Guy,Inch rings with the band's signature laid-back-yet-precise style. Jangly, intricate guitarwork plays off easy rhythms; an upbeat tranquility buoys wistful riffs. The lyrics are honest and introspective as Julia Shapiro admits to being Inchthat kind of guyInch-the type who just wants to feel alive, despite the pull of screentime, and the tendency to hold onto something until the life has been sucked out of it. InchMaybe quitting is okay, but I don't like giving things away,Inch she sings, backed by warm vocal harmonies. InchI'd rather hold on for too long, until all the feeling's gone.Inch For their side, Holy Wave contribute the rich and hypnotic slow burner InchTime Crisis Too.Inch Smears of warped synth over meticulous percussion and guitar form a dense tapestry of sound; melodic vibraphone perfects the cinematic nostalgia while the lyrics lament the too-hurried passage of time. Microdoses of experimentation tucked into the layers-seaside waves, swells of distortion, a disembodied second vocal-add intrigue and enhance the vibe. Album Tracks 1. That Guy 2. Time Crisis Too
