CHVRCHES - Screen Violence (August 27th 2021) Album • Page 21

since it's that time of year

 

I listened to this band's entire discog twice at work today, and I'm happy to report it all kinda slaps. really just great stuff all round

that being said this era just feels special to me. it's both recency bias and it being my introduction to them but still. the songcraft, lyrics and aesthetic of everything to do with SV just does it for me

 

CHVRCHES Setlist at White Oak Music Hall, Houston

Tour started last night. V upset it’s not coming remotely close to me.

 

That setlist is sooooo good. What a perfect encore

 

oh yeah that is an excellent setlist

 

Some very cool reissues on their webstore!

Need to see Final Girl live

 

Shaky knees just announced their lineup for next year and they’re going to be there so I guess I’m going to be there too.

 

I’m beyond excited for the show. I wish I was going to Milwaukee, too.

Regardless, I’m going to lose my shit. This is the one show I’ve been needing.

 

Setlist is good except no nightmares

 

A week away from my show , assuming I test negative and am able to get into Canada

 

Toronto looking less likely…

 

I dunno, they played tonight and didn’t even miss a beat.

 

Show tonight was incredible. Absolutely what I needed.

 

I just mean, If it’s not a false positive, how easily it can spread to more members / also
How can iain even get across the border now etc.

 

ive seen several bands only have one member test positive while on tour this fall. also seen a handful where the whole band got hit.

 

Fair point. They seem to have had a plan in place for this happening.

 

Hey, this band is very good live. Pretty perfect first concert in, I dunno, roughly two years.

 

I’m here and it’s happening !!!

 

Ugh that was so good

setlist notes

violent delights slaps hard live with the drummer! no Martin song, gotta get under the tide back in there. Also nightmares. Also maybe never ending circles.

 

I listened to the singles a lot when they dropped but for whatever reason decided to hold off for a bit before diving fully into the album. Subconsciously waiting 'til it got cold, maybe? Regardless, having listened a bunch in the lead up to the concert and afterwards, I can confidently say it's my favorite CHVRCHES album and 2021 AOTY. Just absolutely the perfect album for me right now. Whole thing rules, though that "How Not to Drown"/"Final Girl"/"Good Girls" stretch especially hits so fucking hard.

Also, wearing my "we did it out of love" crewneck today, which is I think my new favorite sweatshirt.

 

I was lukewarm on Good Girls as a single, but it is so good in context.

 

Well, I also really dug it as a single, so I don’t completely relate, lol. The context does elevate it a ton, though.
