Chvrches

Chvrches (stylised CHVRCHΞS and pronounced "Churches") are a Scottish synth-pop band from Glasgow, formed in September 2011. The band consists of Lauren Mayberry, Iain Cook, Martin Doherty and, unofficially since 2018, Jonny Scott. Mostly deriving from the synth-pop genre, Chvrches also incorporate indietronica, indie pop, and electronic dance into their sound.

Two years after their formation, Chvrches released Recover EP in March 2013, which included hits "The Mother We Share" and "Recover". Their debut studio album, The Bones of What You Believe, was released on 20 September 2013, while the band was ranked fifth on the Sound of 2013 list by the BBC. Two years later, on 25 September 2015, the group released their second album, Every Open Eye. Their third album, Love Is Dead, was released on 25 May 2018. Their fourth album, Screen Violence, was released on 27 August 2021.

Video: CHVRCHES - Under The Tide
CHVRCHES's release a sci-fi/anime extravaganza for single Under The Tide.. Scottish trio CHVRCHES have released a visually-very-pleasing new video clip for their single Under The Tide, directed by Sing J Lee, who along with working with the band in the past, has also worked on clips for the likes of Australia's own Vance Joy and Gorgon City. The video for Under The Tide is a like a science fiction/anime fan's wet dream, with homages to things like Tron and anime movies I couldn't begin to tell you on account of my fairly limited knowledge to the genre. But I like sci-fi, and this clip is great. It also sees Martin Doherty on vocal duties - the only time on their 2013 album The Bones Of What You Believe Lauren Mayberry doesn't - and it's a bit of an adjustment, but his Scottish lilt soon smooths things over.
