Chvrches – Roses
After short but artistically successful solo stints, Lauren Mayberry and Martin Doherty reunited with Iain Cook to continue their Chvrches project. Their new single sounds as sharp, fresh and colourful as could be expected from a song named Roses. It combines a dark and rocking electronic backdrop with a light children’s choir and a biting rap. Curiously, it all ends with the start. Good to have them back!
Roses by Chvrches is the new Carte Blanche Music Wildcard. It will be prominently displayed at the top of the blog for an entire week.

Chvrches – Forever [Separate But Together]
In 2018, Scottish electro-pop band Chvrches released their latest album, the Greg Kurstin-produced Love Is Dead. It was promoted via four official singles: Get Out, My Enemy, Never Say Die and Miracle.
Another track off the album, Forever, was given a second life earlier this year, thanks to Netflix. It was featured on the show Elite, which follows teenagers at a private school in Spain. In response to this placement, the band decided to record a new, stripped back, reinterpreted version of the song. Dubbed Forever [Separate But Together], a new video for the track shows the members of Chvrches playing the track in their various home studios as they self-isolate in the coronavirus pandemic.

Chvrches – Get Out
In 2012, Scottish electro pop band Chvrches came to the scene with irresistible tunes like Lies and The Mother We Share, followed by their debut album The Bones Of What We Believe, which also featured great tracks like We Sink and Tether. The follow-up, Every Open Eye, was an equally strong set of songs, including gems like Keep You On My Side, Empty Threat, and Bury It (later re-recorded as a duet with Paramore’s Hayley Williams). On top of that, the three-piece proved very capable of translating their studio work to the stage.
Last December, front woman Lauren Mayberry started teasing new material. The band is working on a third album, apparently to be called Love Is Dead. It is being produced by Greg Kurstin (of Sia, Adele and P!nk fame) and, according to Mayberry, contains “the most pop stuff we’ve done, but the most aggressive and vulnerable at the same time.”
A first taste of the album is out now. First single Get Out indeed sounds a little bit more polished than Chvrches’ earlier output, but not light years away from the sound we got to like. Mayberry’s voice is still lovely and unique and the synths are as ‘synthy’ as ever. Good to have them back!

Lauren Mayberry – Change Shapes
I’ve always been a huge fan of Scottish electro-pop trio Chvrches. Their first two albums, especially, are amongst my favourites of the ‘10s. Following the band’s most recent album Screen Violence, from 2021, singer Lauren Mayberry announced her solo career. She promised her own material would be ‘fun, freaky, sad, weird and joyful’. At last year’s solo gigs, she showcased numerous unreleased tracks, alongside covers of Madonna, Depeche Mode, The 1975 and Texas.
Last autumn, Mayberry put out her first two singles under her own name, Are You Awake? and Shame. Change Shapes is her third and best solo effort so far. She co-wrote it with Cleo Tighe, Evan Blair and Matt Koma (who also produced the cut). Led by a groovy, pulsating bassline, it’s a propulsive, powerful pop anthem. It sees Mayberry railing against the expectations put on her as a woman, and how her efforts as a feminist are constantly undermined by those who think she’s doing both too much and not enough.
Change Shapes by Lauren Mayberry is the new Carte Blanche Music Wildcard. This implies that it will be prominently displayed at the top of the blog for an entire week.
