Exclaim
There's a certain mourning that Chastity Belt bring to the forefront on this self-titled album. All that is lost in youth can never be retrieved, but in a way, they've harnessed some part of the past, while taking pause for recognition that it may be gone forever

While the album has its moments of musical limitation and monotony, Shapiro’s central voice on Chastity Belt is teeming with insight, even when that insight is born from an identity of dissonance

The Music
The album never reaches the peak and immediacy of 2017 single Different Now, but, taken as a whole, there’s a beauty in the textural nuance and overall gentle hypnosis of Chastity Belt
