94. Chastity Belt - “It’s Obvious”

I Used to Spend So Much Time Alone is a beauty of an album. It’s full of jams that subtlety soak the soul, drowning it in a poignant range of emotions and a undeniable litany of grooves. This is the first such jam to make it on this list, but I assure you that it won’t be the last.

There’s a sort of unassuming beauty to this track. It reminds me of a gorgeous landscape obscured by fog or a beautiful face seen within a dark room in the dying embers of dusk. It’s a beauty hinted at in the melodies, and yet hidden in the pessimistic sludge that permeates throughout. It’s intoxicating, equal parts joy and sadness, perfectly capturing the yin and yang that defines young love.
