A sound hard to pin down
Stereogum describes Chastity's music as "simple and direct," while resisting easy genre labels — the report suggests it could be called heavy emo, or emotionally raw shoegaze, or a kind of power-pop steeped in fuzz and pain.
The outlet points to two reference bands to describe the sound: Jesu and The Promise Ring, framing Chastity as if both were happening at once — Jesu's dense walls of noise combined with The Promise Ring's direct emotional delivery.
