Thoughts

I love CHVRCHES but somehow I’ve only kept up with current albums and not gone into the small but important back catalogue. I can’t quite believe they’ve been around since 2012, but what a debut album to kick things off with. Fantastic dance and great vocals, interesting ideas, clever lyrics, a lot to love. It’s fun when sometimes the male voices pop up as well, when we’re so used to hearing the band fronted by Lauren. The Mother We Share is a classic but the rest of the album lives up to the promise as well.

Rating: 5 / 5
