Chvrches swap synth-pop déjà vu for Glasgow gloom on “most fearless” LP yet
Chvrches are 90 percent through their next album, which Martin Doherty calls their “most fearless record.” Following 2021’s Screen Violence, the group pivots toward a sharper, harder edge without abandoning their sonic roots.
Written in rainy Glasgow for a deliberately Scottish feel, the album reflects a desire to escape self-replication. The trio briefly disbanded for side projects, including Lauren Mayberry’s solo LP and Doherty and Jonny Scott’s rave-tinged act, The Leaving.
CHVRCHES Give a Melancholic Spin to The Postal Service and Robert Palmer Covers
CHVRCHES lend their electronic charm to covers of The Postal Service and Robert Palmer for ‘Tell Me Lies’. The band introduces a melancholic twist to Palmer’s ‘Addicted To Love’, replacing high-energy synths with a sparse piano.
Meanwhile, they stay close to The Postal Service’s original artistry in their rendition of ‘Such Great Heights’, with Mayberry’s vocals rising to a soaring crescendo.
The band, fond of both icons, relished adding their sound to the show's final season, drawing from Mayberry’s university-era emotional resonance with its themes.
