Sounds pretty much like my show the following day, more of a Death Cab crowd. I think CHVRCHES converted most of them by the end of the set, though, enthusiasm & standing seemed to go up.
He's an excellent frontman, his songs live have always been fantastic. Both times I've seen them on new material, Clearest Blue was the clear highlight followed by Under The Tide
Disagree hard on this, I like when this band gets weirder, song has a cool vibe. Also, it works a million times better in a dark club than an outdoor venue when its still light outside haha.
one of my least favorites, i don't think the melody in that song is good at all. plus if you say it's top three, then you're saying it's better than some of tether, the mother we share, gun, recover, night sky, lungs (which i just realized they didn't play either of those last two), which totally isn't true. getting either of those last two over science/visions would make a far better set
Idk, for me, the mother we share, gun, night sky, recover, and science/visions are the clear top 5 of that album in whatever order. I've never really understood the hate on science/visions, when there's a couple others I'd much quicker say are my least favorite on the album.
The Mother We Share, Gun, Tether, Recover, and Night Sky Are my top 5. I like Science/Visions, but it's closer to the bottom for me. I'll take it over Under The Tide, Lungs, and You Caught The Light though.
other than lungs, i pretty much agree. lungs is great. under the tide is elevated by the fact that it's unbelievable live though
Definitely agree that Under The Tide really comes to life live. I haven't listened to the album in a while so maybe I'll have a different opinion on Lungs whenever I return to it.
While not my favorite song of theirs, I liked Science/Visions live last fall. It was a departure from the rest of their set, but in a really cool way. Seeing them Wednesday with Death Cab!
Ben Gibbard of DCFC and Lauren were on the Talkhouse Music Podcast that went up today. Two of my favorite bands, very cool. Ben Gibbard (Death Cab for Cutie) Talks with Lauren Mayberry (Chvrches) for the Talkhouse Music Podcast - The Talkhouse
Science/Visions was the highlight of their set when I saw them the week before Bones came out. It kind of falls flat now, which is strange. Still a top three song on that album for me, though.
science/visions doesn't fit their show's mood imo, We Sink should def be there instead. Gun is still their best song though. it's it, Clearest Blue, Empty Threat, Leave a Trace and High Enough to Carry You Over for me, although Get Away and Warning Call could be there on any other day. they have some amazing b-sides
