I Used to Spend So Much Time Alone is Chastity Belt”s third and finest full-length album to date. Recorded live in July of 2016, at Jackpot! In Portland, OR with producer/mixer Matthew Simms of Wire, it”s a dark and uncommonly beautiful set of mood-driven rock that”s also unabashedly introspective. More personal and more direct than 2015”s marvelous Time to Go Home, I Used to Spend So Much Time Alone is a brave and often exhilarating tangle of mixed feelings and haunting melodies that connects dizzying anguish (“”This Time of Night””) to shimmering insight (“”Different Now””) to gauzy ambiguity (“”Stuck””). It”s a serious record but not a serious departure, defined best, perhaps, by a line that Julia Shapiro shares early on it”s staggering title track: “”I wanna be sincere.””
