Chvrches
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! |

Probably my favourite band to emerge in the last couple of years. ♥
Strong Hand is my favourite track I think. |

I like the debut album a lot, though I do think the singles are a lot stronger than the rest of the album (though that's not exactly a rare occurrence in pop music). I was listening to a lot of 80s synth pop last year, so a new band taking on the classic style with a more modern sheen was certainly welcome for me.

I really like 'The Mother We Share' and 'Recover'.
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. |

Love this band, though don't have their album yet. Each of their singles, Recover, The Mother We Share, Lies and We Sink have been great.

Have just announced another round of US tour dates, like Depeche Mode they seem to be doing better there than at home.

I absolutely love their album. Really like The Mother we share and Gun - I was surprised to hear one of their songs as background music on the FIFA 14 game that my son plays.
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 really like the new album although it's probably even more retro than the first.
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. |

Check put the Prides album (if you haven't already) it's great as well. |

I really, like really love Recover. It's one of those songs I can listen to over and over and absolutely adore.
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. |

Really good band. Enjoy that they are very different to what most bands are putting out right now. And is it me but why does Lauren Mayberry look so grumpy all the time?

I think, as an album, "Every Open Eye" is a better album than "The Bones Of What You Believe", as there isn't a bad song on it, I really did enjoy every song. But it lacks that killer song on the scale of "The Mother We Share", which for me is still their best song.
"Leave A Trace", "Keep You On My Side" and "Empty Threat" are highlights though.

Bow Down I would probably have put on the album proper as well. |

Really enjoying the new album, I find its more instant than "The Bones" Leave a Trace, Make Them Gold & Afterglow are my standouts so far... Be nice to see them have a little more exposure with this record.

I quite like the album although I think that Empty Threat sounds a bit like an album track from someone like Demi Lovato.

I'm really loving Every Open Eye! I never heard the first album. I will have to go back and listen to it.

I think they're brilliant. Constantly listening to them at the moment.
