Chastity Belt & 764-Hero - Loaded Painted Red - Opaque Purple 7" Record

Color limited to 500 worldwide!

Chastity Belt's rendition of "Loaded Painted Red" beautifully intertwines with 764-Hero's original, transforming it into a shimmering, expansive version with gentle clarity. This song has always carried a deep emotional weight, echoing the late '90s Pacific Northwest melancholy. In their very first cover recording, Chastity Belt explores that feeling further, stretching it like a held breath. Lydia Lund adds a fresh guitar line, gracefully pulling the song into their unique style, circling around its core sentiment. Julia Shapiro shares, "I've been a fan of 764-Hero for a while, and 'Loaded Painted Red' is one of my favorites! It was a challenge to do the song justice because the original is so perfect, but we really enjoyed reimagining it and making it our own." Originally released in 1998 on 764-Hero's album Get Here and Stay (Up Records), "Loaded Painted Red" has long been a beloved track, a tender yet intense reflection. The new split 7" pairs their cover with the original, symbolizing a full-circle moment as 764-Hero's catalog joins the Suicide Squeeze family. Together, both versions weave a timeless story, blending decades into a single breath amidst the golden hour glow of the Pacific Northwest.
