So there I am again

browsing in the Entertainment Section

and see that there is no CHVRHCHES Topic

so

I will introduce you the band and post a few songs of them. They are awesome. You really have to check them out.

 

CHVRCHES

Chvrches (pronounced as "churches" and sometimes stylized as CHVRCHES) are a Scottish electropop band from Glasgow, formed in 2011. The group consists of Lauren Mayberry (lead vocals, additional synthesizers),Iain Cook (synthesizers, guitar, vocals), and Martin Doherty (synthesizers, vocals).

Chvrches came fifth on the BBC's Sound of 2013 list of the most promising new music talent. In March 2013 they released Recover EP.

 

Music Style

Chvrches' music style is usually tagged as electronic or synthpop. Neon Gold described their sound as "a godless hurricane of kinetic pop energy". Kitty Empire of the Observer wrote they "make accessible electro-pop that's only just short of truly brilliant".

Chvrches are influenced by acts such as Prince, Tubeway Army, Robyn, Laurie Anderson, Depeche Mode, Kate Bush, and Elliott Smith. The band writes, records, mixes, and masters their songs in a basement studio in Glasgow.

Probably an hour before you made this topic, I heard a song from them and came to LanaBoards to search for an area to beg for downloads.

 

So tonight, are you gonna be my soldier?

 

No, I liked the song a lot and at least want an idea of what I'm getting into, they don't have any secrets or hundreds of songs beyond their releases, right?

No (not really)

Oh, I love CHVRCHES. They remind me of a more secular, less organic Purity Ring, and their music is so sparkly and beautiful...I really like every song but "ZVVL". "Gun" especially has grown on me a lot...when it first came out, I thought it was boring and simple, but now it just leaves me even more excited for the album this fall...is it really gonna be called "Lies"?

I wish Iain Cook sang main vocals in more songs. ZVVL is simply perfect, I adore his voice.

I only have the Recover EP so I second this request for any singles / demos / other scattered songs.

I love them <3 they are coming to Boston the same week as Charli XCX and Icona Pop... ugh I want to see all of them but why do they all have to come the same week!? I haven't gotten tickets for them yet but I probably will soon, assuming they don't sell out.

Aw, such a shame that ZVVL wasn't included... But hey, if Iain sings main vocals in other tracks (as appears to be the case), that's good enough for me!

Anyone from the UK bought the Gun - EP on iTunes? Mind sharing?
