Posted by Amy Steele in Music on July 19, 2019
“Ann’s Jam” is the pretty, subdued new single from Seattle’s Chastity Belt. The band’s self-titled album will be released on September 20, 2019. It is the band’s fourth album and the first new music released since 2017. Of the band’s hiatus, guitarist Lydia Lund said: “So much of the break was reminding ourselves to stay present, and giving ourselves permission to stop without saying when were gonna meet up again. It was so important to have that—not saying, ‘we’re gonna get back together at this point,’ but really just open it up so we could get back to our present connection.”

ON TOUR: Chastity Belt

In 2010, Chastity Belt formed when the band members were studying at Whitman College in Walla Walla, Washington. The Seattle band writes cool, moody, edgy songs which challenge the status quo. Chastity Belt’s third album I Used to Spend So Much Time Alone will be released on June 2, 2017 on all formats and streaming services. They recorded the album live in July of 2016 with producer Matthew Simms (Wire) at Jackpot! in Portland, Oregon. Chastity Belt will tour in June with a stop at Brighton Music Hall in Boston on June 19, 2017. There aren’t all that many all-female bands so get out and support this one.
