Chastity Belt – “Cool Slut” Video (Stereogum Premiere)

Chastity Belt’s new LP, Time To Go Home, is out today, and they make a good case for the album in the form of director Joe Holcomb’s video for anti-slut-shaming anthem “Cool Slut.” The music is a fine example of Chastity Belt’s “What if the Bangles sounded more like Real Estate?” M.O., and the lyrics remind us why these women chose Chastity Belt as their ironic band name. The chorus goes, “To all the girls in the world/ Trying to take off their shirts/ Ladies, it’s OK to be/ It’s OK to be slutty.” Line after memorable line follows: “We’re just a couple of sluts/ So what? We like to fuck.” Meanwhile, the visuals play like a lo-fi version of an old sitcom intro culled from some dusty VHS. It’s immensely entertaining, so watch below.

Time To Go Home is out today on Hardly Art. Buy it here.
