Chvrches Nearly Done with "Fearless" Album
Chvrches are "90 per cent finished" on a "fearless" new album, promising a bold direction. The band hints that "it's going to rip some faces off," signaling a potentially heavier sound for the alt-pop group. No release date has been announced for what would be their next major studio effort.
- The Scottish trio's last full-length studio album was "Screen Violence," released on August 27, 2021. The album used horror film tropes to explore themes of disillusionment and fear. - "Screen Violence" was seen by many critics as a return to form after their 2018 album, "Love Is Dead," which saw the band work with pop producer Greg Kurstin for a more mainstream sound. - The band's fourth album, "Screen Violence," featured a notable collaboration with Robert Smith, the frontman of The Cure, on the single "How Not to Drown." - Chvrches is a synth-pop band from Glasgow, Scotland, that formed in 2011. The group consists of Lauren Mayberry, Iain Cook, and Martin Doherty. - Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the band created "Screen Violence" while separated by the Atlantic Ocean; Mayberry and Doherty worked from Los Angeles, while Cook worked from Glasgow. - The band has released four studio albums to date: "The Bones of What You Believe" (2013), "Every Open Eye" (2015), "Love Is Dead" (2018), and "Screen Violence" (2021).
