Courtney Barnett has unveiled her rendition of Chastity Belt’s 2017 hit single “Different Now.” This cover will be part of an upcoming 7-inch record, accompanied by Kurt Vile’s interpretation of “This Time of Night,” another track by the band. Scheduled to be released on October 27 through Suicide Squeeze, both the vinyl and digital versions of the single can be anticipated. Barnett’s take on “Different Now” is available to listen to now.
Chastity Belt’s songs “Different Now” and “This Time of Night” are featured on their third album, I Used to Spend So Much Time Alone. Barnett expressed deep affection for “Different Now,” saying, “This song holds a unique place in my heart. When the album was released, I repeatedly listened to ‘Different Now,’ feeling as though it was meant for me. It’s an impeccable composition, and I even introduced it to Kurt, who used to sing it to me while touring. I’ve admired Chastity Belt ever since we met at a Seattle record store in 2014, followed by a tour together in 2015. We’ve remained close friends since then.”
In further comments, Barnett revealed: “Initially, I performed it as a modest folk acoustic rendition, but after involving Stella [Mozgawa] to design some drum beats, the track transformed into something much more exhilarating. We recorded it directly to the Tascam 388, and the process was genuinely enjoyable to undertake.”
