On their awesome third record, I Used to Spend So Much Time Alone, Chastity Belt dial down the LOLs for a long, uncompromising plunge into current age anomie, forlornness, sadness, and the boredom that originates from overcompensating things, for the sake of attempting to discover importance in a world that is progressively hard to disentangle. "I just fall on my face when I’m trying to have fun" sings Julia Shapiro coolly, one of ordinarily on the record she confesses to overindulging for the sake of feeling okay–just affirm. Somewhere else on the record, she looks to connections ("“I can convince myself of anything, so what the hell?”), business (“I wanna do something cool and I wanna get paid”), or even self-misleading (“What good does truth bring?”") to reestablish her to harmony. However by the end, at the squandered end of "5am" reality goes ahead solid: "Communication’s pretty hard.” Chastity Belt's sound feels astoundingly unmoored in time, all freeloaded out clatter pop, broke vocals and longing songs only a couple ventures beneath "rock band"; it's difficult to think about another band that sounds very like this. I Used to Spend So Much Time Alone is not a simple tune in, but rather it's a basic one.
