Seattles Chastity Belt and Austins Holy Wave split a dreamy 7-inch for Suicide Squeeze Records. Chastity Belts offering, That Guy, rings with the bands signature laid-back-yet-precise style. Jangly, intricate guitarwork plays off easy rhythms; an upbeat tranquility buoys wistful riffs. The lyrics are honest and introspective as Julia Shapiro admits to being that kind of guythe type who just wants to feel alive, despite the pull of screentime, and the tendency to hold onto something until the life has been sucked out of it. Maybe quitting is okay, but I dont like giving things away, she sings, backed by warm vocal harmonies. Id rather hold on for too long, until all the feelings gone.

For their side, Holy Wave contribute the lush and hypnotic slow burner Time Crisis Too. Smears of warped synth over meticulous percussion and guitar form a dense tapestry of sound; melodic vibraphone perfects the cinematic nostalgia while the lyrics lament the too-hurried passage of time. Microdoses of experimentation tucked into the layersseaside waves, swells of distortion, a disembodied second vocaladd intrigue and enhance the vibe.
