Chvrches: The Bones of What You Believe

Slicker than the "employee of the year" at a used car lot, Glasglow's synthpop group Chvrches exploded on the internet last year with a string of singles leading up to the September 23rd release of their album "The Bones of What You Believe." From the moment they published their first single, "Lies," a rabid following soon gobbled up everything Chvrches. I understand the obsession. Their sound, a unique whirlwind of electronic hooks and infectious vocals from pixie-esque singer Lauren Mayberry, is dance music with a dark edge. These are songs perfect for car listening or dance parties in equal measure.

(I also appeciate that Chvrches spells their name with a "v" so you can search for them on Google)!
