The Process / Lonely

Chastity Belt and Melbourne band Loose Tooth have shared a "digital split single" featuring new material from both acts: Chastity Belt's A Side "The Process" and Loose Tooth's B side "Lonely."  

Of "The Process," Chastity Belt songwriter Lydia Lund explains, "The lyrics came later and are a sort of reminder of the way self-criticism can compound. When I’m in that critical state of mind, I try to suspend judgement for that current state and I find it reassuring to remember that it’s temporary - a process."

As for "Lonely." Loose Tooth says, "We wrote ‘Lonely’ at the end of 2019. It is about an experience we witnessed when we were teenagers. #MeToo brought up a lot of realizations for many people, and for us; thinking back to us as young and vulnerable women, finishing high school and feeling invincible; we didn't realize that we could be taken advantage of by predatory and powerful men. ‘Lonely’ is about the power dynamics and manipulation of these relationships, and the lasting cycle of trauma that they can bring."
