CHVRCHES - Screen Violence (August 27th 2021) Album

The Scottish trio (rounded out on their last album by drummer Jonny Scott, who also played drums on the most recent record by The Twilight Sad) are following up 2018's Love is Dead this year. Single supposedly coming next week so I figured I'd get the ball rolling on CHV4.

Possibly called Screen Violence by the way, we'll see what happens with that. GET HYPED.

 

LFG!

 

Hyped

 

I think Love is Dead holds up pretty well, I just don't know what the fuck they were thinking with the chorus on Miracle. That was so much fun live though so it balances out.

 

My love for CHVRCHES is not dead.

 

Here for it

 

Shaping up to be a good one.

 

I caved and read the leaked lyrics and they are quite good.

 

Yeah, I couldn’t resist. Really liked what I saw.

 

I couldn't even remember how Miracle sounded and after revisiting, yeah that's such a dumb chorus lol

 

Give me some CHVRCHES song recs.

 

the whole first album

 

The Mother We Share
Gun
Recover
Under the Tide (single version)

Pretty good summation of where they're at if you ask me.

the whole second album

 

Thanks, I'll go with @Carrow's playlist first (plus Miracle because I want to hear this dumb chorus).

 

Woo

 

really looking forward to this one

 

Yeah everything they've said since the last album makes it sound like this will be different, and that they sound really excited about it. I remember reading that they learned a lot from trying to push for a more commercial sound on the last album as well.

 

Miracle had so much going for it before the chorus too.

 

I don’t hate miracle. Heaven/Hell and Graves are worse.

 

Those are two of the best on that album.

 

Graves absolutely slaps

 

Graves was an absolute highlight live
