Chastity Belt have announced a new album, Live Laugh Love. The band’s first LP since their 2019 self-titled project is out on March 29 via Suicide Squeeze. They also shared a new song from the album, “Hollow,” along with a music video directed by Nick Shively. Watch it below.
Live Laugh Love marks the first time all four members of Chastity Belt—Julia Shapiro, guitarist Lydia Lund, bassist Annie Truscott, and drummer Gretchen Grimm—will sing on an album, per a statement. In support of the LP, they’ll also head out on a 2024 tour. See a full itinerary below.
According to Shapiro, lead single “Hollow” is about “feeling lost and stuck, waiting for something to change without necessarily taking action. The older I get, the more I realize that I might just always feel this way, and it’s more about sitting with the feeling and accepting it, rather than trying to fight it.”
