Chvrches

Chvrches, a Scottish synth-pop band, has achieved international recognition through their distinctive electronic sound, releasing four studio albums and engaging in global tours and festival appearances. After gaining rapid attention following the release of their debut song ‘Lies’ in May 2012, which quickly topped online music charts and received airplay on BBC Radio 1, Chvrches went on to secure a recording contract with Glassnote Records in January 2013. The band made their North American debut at the South by Southwest festival in 2013, where they were honored with the Grulke Prize for best non-American act, followed by their US television debut on ‘Late Night with Jimmy Fallon’ that same year. Their critically acclaimed debut studio album, ‘The Bones of What You Believe,’ was released in September 2013, establishing their distinctive electronic sound globally.

Further cementing their international presence, their single ‘The Mother We Share’ was featured in the 2014 Commonwealth Games Opening Ceremony. Chvrches continued their impressive trajectory with their second album, ‘Every Open Eye,’ released in 2015. This period saw the band make their prestigious Royal Albert Hall debut in 2016. Demonstrating their versatility across multimedia, they contributed the original song ‘Warning Call’ to the video game Mirror’s Edge Catalyst in 2016.

While lead vocalist Lauren Mayberry pursued a solo tour in 2023, the band affirmed their ongoing commitment, with discussions currently underway for their highly anticipated fifth studio album, signifying their continuous creative evolution. To commemorate another significant milestone, a 10th anniversary special edition of their acclaimed second album, ‘Every Open Eye,’ is slated for release in 2025.
