Seattle/L.A. quartet Chastity Belt have teased their forthcoming 7” release “Fake” b/w “Fear” with its A-side single “Fake.” The record is out this Friday (Dec. 3) via self-release worldwide and Milk! Records in Australia.
The band also released a corresponding music video, directed by Eleanor Petry. The four bandmates dress as clowns as they dance, juggle, explore a city and, later, join a clown party. The repeated phrase “It’s just a fear” almost acts as an entrancing chant, one that certainly fits the playful and equally eerie feeling of the video. In “Fear,” Chastity Belt sound as if they’re facing their fears head-on, exasperated and also determined to overcome them.
