“We recorded this song in Los Angeles in November 2022 with a bunch of other songs that ended up on “Live Laugh Love,” says Chastity Belt’s Julia Shapiro of “That Guy,” which is being released on a split 7″ with Austin band Holy Wave. “It didn’t quite make the cut, but I’m excited to release it now! I really love Lydia’s meandering lead guitar line. I remember her having so many different ideas of what she could do, and we were like, do them all! I wrote the lyrics after Chastity Belt had just come back from doing a bunch of touring, and I had to go back to normal life.
It’s always a rough transition for me. I feel so alive on tour! There’s this one line in the song about this habit I have with music where, when I find a new song that I love, I listen to it on repeat until it no longer makes me feel anything. Like I’ve drained all the blood from it.”
