I have heard of this band before but never heard any of their music until flicking through the channels and seeing some of their set at R1BW. I was really impressed, I've just purchased their album!
I really love 'Lies', pure synth pop (which I absolutely love). I love finding new artists (or people who are new to me).
Anyone else like them? Interesting sound!

Strong Hand is my favourite track I think.
I absolutely love 'Lies'. I really LOVE it. It's probably the closest thing to the start of synth pop (80s) that I've heard been recreated (if that makes sense). The sound is quite angry sounding but Lauren Mayberry's softer vocals just compliment it so well.
First song I ever heard from them.
Check this out as well
Chvrches live at The Forum London
There's not many albums where I like every single song and so far the only ones I've found is there's and the two albums by Hurts.
i'm a bit surprised Years and Years seem to have done better this year with a similar sound, however Chvrches are particularly popular in America.
That's good to know I meant to pick it up at the weekend but didn't get into town.
Check put the Prides album (if you haven't already) it's great as well.
I do like the new song Leave A Trace and also The Mother We Share and Gun
Like one of the posters above its just like Hurts to me, and I love every song on their first album and about 50% of what's on the second.
"Leave A Trace", "Keep You On My Side" and "Empty Threat" are highlights though.
Strangely enough "The Mother We Share" was probably my least favourite track on""Bones... ", Science/Visions and Gun were my favourites.
Clearest Blue is probably the standout track on the new album, but I really like Playing Dead and Never Ending Circles, and High Enough to Carry you over is a great "Martin" song. Bow Down I would probably have put on the album proper as well.
