Seattle band Chastity Belt are slated to release their forthcoming LP Live Laugh Love on March 29th via one of our fave labels Suicide Squeeze Records. The song follows their previous cuts ‘I-90 Bridge’ and ‘Hollow’, which were shared over the past few months.

Whilst originally crafted in a jam session, the final result of ‘Chemtrails’ is a melancholic alternative handing that rolls with moody guitar lines and somber vocals. There is a late 90s – early 2000s nostalgia to the single, however it doesn’t sound too much like a throwback piece, which makes it pretty enjoyable.

Chastity Belt has also shared an official video to coincide with the track which is available for streaming down below.

Touching on the song Chastity Belt’s Julia Shapiro mentioned:

‘Chemtrails’ started off as a jam when we were rehearsing for an upcoming tour. I started playing that
initial lead guitar part without thinking, and the rest came together pretty naturally after that. Gretchen’s drums along with Annie’s bass really drive the song – the drums remind me a bit of Protomartyr (love those boys!), and Lydia’s lead guitar line in the chorus is very rock n roll. The lyrics are about not being able to let go of things and retracing memories in your head. I reached out to Ertuğrul Yaka about animating something to the song because his work is often pretty dark and introspective, and he came up with a video that really fits the vibe.
