Seattle band Chastity Belt shared “Friends For This,” the last single ahead of their album All My Friends, scheduled for release Nov. 6 through Suicide Squeeze. Guitarist and vocalist Lydia Lund said she wrote the lyrics after returning from England and reconnecting with friends in Seattle.
Seattle indie rock band Chastity Belt has shared “Friends For This,” the final advance single from its forthcoming album All My Friends, due Nov. 6 on Suicide Squeeze Records. Guitarist and vocalist Lydia Lund said the song’s lyrics came after she moved back to Seattle from England and reconnected with friends after two years away.
“Friends For This” follows four previously released tracks that the band presented in two-song batches: “I Could Say Less” and “Pavement,” followed by “To Decide” and “Designs.” The new song is the last preview identified in the report before the album’s release later that week. The supplied source does not provide further details about the single’s recording, production credits or a track-by-track description of the album.
Lund said the song reflects her return to Seattle and time spent reconnecting with friends after two years away. She also recalled sleepovers and recording vocals for the song in her basement with bandmates Julia, Gretchen and Samur. Lund noted that Gretchen contributed vocals near the end of the track.
All My Friends is scheduled to arrive Nov. 6 through Seattle-based label Suicide Squeeze. The source names the album but gives no further release information, such as its full track list, formats, tour plans or whether more songs will be shared before release.
A Song About Returning to Seattle
Lund linked “Friends For This” to her return from England and reconnecting with friends in Seattle after two years away. Her comments provide context for the song’s lyrics, though the available report does not include further details about the track’s themes or sound.
The single is the final preview mentioned in the source after four earlier tracks. It precedes the scheduled release of All My Friends, but the available report does not establish whether the single represents the album as a whole. The album is due Nov. 6 on Suicide Squeeze.

The Album’s Single Rollout
Chastity Belt is described in the source as a Seattle indie rock mainstay. In the run-up to All My Friends, the group released previews in pairs: first “I Could Say Less” with “Pavement,” then “To Decide” with “Designs.” “Friends For This” was presented as a final single ahead of the album’s arrival.
The album title might recall LCD Soundsystem’s song “All My Friends,” but the source explicitly notes there is no relation between that song and Chastity Belt’s album. No collaboration or connection between the artists is reported. The album is set for Nov. 6 on Suicide Squeeze; the supplied material does not specify the year.
““It was a time where it felt sooo good to reconnect with my friends after spending the last two years away from Seattle.””
— Lydia Lund, Chastity Belt guitarist and vocalist
Details Still Missing From the Rollout
The supplied report does not state the album’s year, full track list, recording personnel beyond the vocal session Lund describes, or whether “Friends For This” has a standalone release date separate from the report. It also does not give a detailed sonic description or confirm any live dates tied to the album. Those points should not be inferred from Lund’s comments about the song’s inspiration.
All My Friends Arrives Nov. 6
The next confirmed milestone is the scheduled Nov. 6 release of All My Friends through Suicide Squeeze. The source does not report another single, a release event or touring plans, so any additional announcements remain unconfirmed in the available material.
