Screen Violence

Chvrches

The fourth album from the Glasgow synth-pop trio has been released in time to mark 10 years since they formed.

After experimenting with pop influences on 2018’s Love Is Dead, they have returned to the identifiable sound that made their name.

Violent Delights provides a wider chorus and contrast for Lauren Mayberry’s belllike vocals, while How Not To Drown, a duet with The Cure’s Robert Smith, mellows into a trance-like finish.
