Chastity
Chastity is the musical project of Canada native Brandon Williams who makes resonant songs that capture isolation and resilience. As the songwriter behind Chastity, the Whitby Ontario musician has made three unrelentingly perceptive albums culminating in the cathartic Suffer Summer, which was released January 13 via Deathwish and Dine Alone Records. The LP caps off an album trilogy that showcases both Williams’ emotional range as a lyricist but also his boundless love of outsider music. His 2018 debut Death Lust pulled from Unwound and The Smashing Pumpkins as he grappled with mortality while 2019’s Home Made Satan dealt in world-weary anxiety and Hum-like atmospherics. But Suffer Summer is a meditation on happiness, channeled through powerhouse riffs and undeniably potent choruses, sung with Mineral and Jimmy Eat World worn on his sleeve. It’s an album that shows how healing and staying content is hard but necessary work. Now, Chastity returns with a brand new full length LP releasing fall of 2024, which will take his sound to new levels of intensity and emotion. Fans of Jimmy Eat World, Teenage Wrist, Basement, Narrow Head and Title Fight will enjoy Chastity.
