Julia Shapiro (cool__slut) of chast1tybelt has announced her second solo album, 'Zorked,' co-produced by Melina Duterte (jaysomband). Watch the video for darkly psychedelic lead single 'Come With Me':
. Set for an Oct. 15 release on Suicide Squeeze Records, the 10-track LP features co-production from Melina Duterte , who helped Shapiro record at home during lockdown in Los Angeles, and pushed her to explore a sound distinct from both her solo debut and her work with Chastity Belt.
Lead single “Come With Me,” out now alongside a psychedelic, live-action/animation-hybrid music video , is our first preview of that new sound: dreamy, but dark—nightmarey, more like—with droning synths that jab your nerves, hazy and hallucinatory lyrics, and layered Shapiro vocals that evoke MGMT. It’s a sound cleverly calibrated for these times, in which we’re all “zorked” in one way or another, whether by virtue of chemical intervention, or our mental circuits simply overloading.
Get zorked via the “Come With Me” video below, and see the details of Shapiro’s new album further down. You can preorder the record right
