Chvrches (stylised CHVRCHΞS and pronounced "Churches") are a Scottish pop band from Glasgow, formed in September 2011.[1] The band consists of Lauren Mayberry, Iain Cook, Martin Doherty[2] and, unofficially since 2018, Jonny Scott.[3] 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.[4] 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.

History

Origins and formation

In 2003, musicians Iain Cook and Martin Doherty met as students at the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow. Doherty was a member of the rock band Julia Thirteen, and asked Cook to produce some of the band's music. Although Julia Thirteen never recorded any further material, the experience proved vital, as Cook and Doherty formed a mutual partnership through music. A few years later, Doherty joined Cook as a member of the alternative rock band Aereogramme, but the two quit in 2007 when they became frustrated with the band's sound and lack of exposure. Doherty was then offered a role as a touring member of The Twilight Sad, but quit in 2012 after growing tired of playing someone else's music. The two had become jaded with alternative rock, and decided to start their own music project.[5]

A few years after Cook left Aereogramme, he began listening to the American electronic music band Emeralds. Inspired, Cook bought a Minimoog Voyager and began "playing around with soundscapes and stuff like that...kind of with a view of doing stuff from the '80s".[6] In September 2011, he produced an extended play for the band Blue Sky Archives, and asked vocalist and drummer Lauren Mayberry if she would be interested in singing backing vocals for an electronic music project he and Doherty were working on. Mayberry was intrigued by the offer, as neither of them had any background in electronic music. "For me it was nice to write over different instruments and not have to try to sing and scream over live drums and a Marshall bass stack," said Mayberry.[7]

The three musicians quickly bonded, and spent the next few months writing and recording songs in a basement studio.[7][8] During these sessions, Mayberry wrote the lyrics and hooks, Doherty provided melodic ideas, and Cook produced the songs.[7] Once the sessions had concluded, the three decided that they worked well enough together to try and perform the songs as a band.[9] The initial plan was to have Doherty sing lead vocals, while Mayberry would sing backing vocals. Mayberry was eventually promoted to lead vocalist after Cook and Doherty heard her singing abilities.[9] In addition to her new role, Mayberry became the band's frontwoman, and gave the other members a reading list about the inner workings of the music industry.[10]

The band members settled on the name Chvrches (stylised as CHVRCHΞS), which uses the Roman letter "v" instead of a "u". This spelling was chosen to differentiate themselves from actual churches in online search results.[11] There was no conscious decision to have a name with religious connotations; instead, the band members felt that the name gave "a strong vibe that could be interpreted in many different ways".[8] Mayberry also noted that the v is a subtle nod to band names from the influential witch house genre of music, including bands such as SALEM and Ritualz. "We did consider putting upside down crosses at either side of our name, but that would have dated us, I think" said Mayberry.[12]

2012–2014: Breakthrough success, and The Bones of What You Believe

Doherty noted how Chvrches began as a studio only project, saying: "There wasn't really any goal other than to put a song out on the internet and see what kind of response we got".[13] In May 2012, Chvrches posted its debut song "Lies" on the Neon Gold Records blog.[9] Instead of a picture of the band members, the song was accompanied by a picture of nuns in masks, which added to the perceived religiosity of the Chvrches name.[14] The response was almost immediate; "Lies" reached number one on the MP3 aggregate blog The Hype Machine, and similarly received constant airplay on SoundCloud and BBC Radio 1.[7] The band members were amazed by the reaction to "Lies". "It was unbelievable, way beyond what we expected," said Doherty.[13]

Despite the popularity of "Lies", Chvrches had yet to perform a live show.[9] There was a growing expectation that the band would eventually perform live, although the band members were anxious at the prospect.[15] To curtail this fear, Chvrches played its first two live shows under the name Shark Week, before making its official debut at the Glasgow School of Art in July.[7] When Chvrches began to attract A&R representatives, Mayberry was dismayed that most of them wanted to make her the central figure of the band; one representative called her the next Pixie Lott.[10] From the beginning, the band's goal was to give equal treatment to all three members, and to not have any one person become the focal point. As Doherty stated: "We could have sold 200,000 more albums if we'd hidden Iain and I from view and put Lauren on the cover of every magazine. We ended up doing it in an indie band style. We broke through via word of mouth. It was about doing it in an honest, right way."[16] This mentality meant that the band had to decline early offers for photo shoots and interviews that excluded Cook and Doherty.[16]

Chvrches had already recorded eight other songs by the time "Lies" was released, in case listeners wanted to hear more music.[17] One of these songs, "The Mother We Share", was released on 5 November 2012 as the band's debut single.[18] "The Mother We Share" was similarly well received by listeners, and was downloaded more than 32,000 times by September 2013.[19] Around this time, Chvrches co-manager Campbell McNeil attempted to contact Glassnote Records founder Daniel Glass, and gave Glass copies of "Lies" and another song called "Recover".[19] After travelling to the UK to see Chvrches live, Glass signed the band to a recording contract in January 2013. To promote Chvrches, managers McNeil and Danny Rogers launched a nonstop touring schedule which included several international performances. Two months after signing with Glassnote, Chvrches made its North American debut at the South by Southwest festival in Austin, where the band won a Grulke Prize for best non-American act.[19][20]

On 6 February 2013, Chvrches premiered the second single "Recover".[21] It was followed by Recover EP, out on 25 March 2013 in the UK via Goodbye/Virgin and 26 March 2013 in the US via Glassnote.[21] In March 2013 Chvrches performed at SXSW.[22][23][24] They also won the Inaugural Grulke Prize (for Developing Non-US Act) at SXSW.[25]

On 19 June 2013, Chvrches made their US TV debut performing "The Mother We Share" on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon.[26][27] On 15 July 2013, they released the single "Gun".[28] In July 2013 Chvrches supported Depeche Mode on four shows from The Delta Machine Tour 2013.[29] In September 2013, they also performed "The Mother We Share" on Later... with Jools Holland.[30]

On 23 September 2013, the band released their debut studio album The Bones of What You Believe on Virgin and Goodbye Records.[31] On the critical aggregator website Metacritic, the album received a score of 80, based on 39 reviews.[32]

On 30 September 2013, Mayberry penned an op-ed piece in The Guardian on what she perceived as sexist remarks directed towards her through the band's social media sites.[33]

Chvrches covered Bauhaus' song "'Bela Lugosi's Dead" for the ending credits of the film Vampire Academy.[34][35] "The Mother We Share" was featured in the opening video for the 2014 Commonwealth Games Opening Ceremony in Glasgow, Scotland, on 23 July 2014.[36]

On 30 October 2014, BBC host Zane Lowe premiered "Get Away" as the first song from the re-scored soundtrack of the 2011 Nicolas Winding Refn's film, Drive.[37]

2015–2016: Every Open Eye

The band started recording their second album in January 2015,[38] and on 5 June 2015 announced they had completed work on it.[39] Recording was conducted in the same Glasgow facility used for The Bones, which received a major upgrade to recording gear and an increase in the instrumental variety for the second album.[40] If The Bones of What You Believe was recorded with the only three synths they had at that time (Minimoog Voyager, Prophet '08, Roland Juno-106), the success of the debut album allowed the band to follow their passion for synths by adding a lot more to play with on Every Open Eye: Korg MS-20 mini, Korg Polysix, Roland Jupiter-8, Moog Sonic Six, Oberheim OB-Xa and DSI Prophet 12.[41]

On 16 July 2015, the band revealed the release date, cover art, and track listing for the new album, entitled Every Open Eye.[42] The following day they released the album's first single, "Leave a Trace".[42] The album was released on 25 September 2015.[43][44]

2017–2019: Love Is Dead

Chvrches began work on their third album in February 2017.[53] The album was recorded in Los Angeles, New York City, and London.[54] On 24 February 2017, Dave Stewart of Eurythmics revealed that he was in the studio working with the band.[55] On 12 December, it was announced that Greg Kurstin had produced the album, and that work on the project was nearing completion[56] Speaking about the album in an interview, Mayberry said "It's a typically Glaswegian thing to do, to feel the most misanthropic and macabre when you're in the sunniest place on earth."[57]

To promote the upcoming album, the band wiped all of their social media pages, before posting a short video containing new music captioned "GET IN".[58][59] The post was accompanied by a link to a Facebook Messenger page with the band.[60] On 31 January 2018, BBC Radio 1's Annie Mac announced "Get Out" to be her Hottest Record in the World, giving the single its world premiere.[61] The album also includes a song titled "My Enemy" featuring Matt Berninger of The National, released 28 February 2018.[62][63] The track list was unveiled on 26 February 2018.[64] On 29 March 2018, the band released "Never Say Die" as the third single from the album.[65] On 10 April 2018, the band released "Miracle" as the fourth single from the album.[66][67] Love Is Dead was released on 25 May 2018.[63][65][68] On 9 October 2018, the band released "Graffiti" as the fifth single from the album.[69][70]

Touring 5 Discography 6 Awards and nominations 7 See also 8 References 9 External linksHistory EditOrigins and formation Edit In 2003 musicians Iain Cook and Martin Doherty met as students at the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow Doherty was a member of the rock band Julia Thirteen and asked Cook to produce some of the band s music Although Julia Thirteen never recorded any further material the experience proved vital as Cook and Doherty formed a mutual partnership through music A few years later Doherty joined Cook as a member of the alternative rock band Aereogramme but the two quit in 2007 when they became frustrated with the band s sound and lack of exposure Doherty was then offered a role as a touring member of The Twilight Sad but quit in 2012 after growing tired of playing someone else s music The two had become jaded with alternative rock and decided to start their own music project 5 A few years after Cook left Aereogramme he began listening to the American electronic music band Emeralds Inspired Cook bought a Minimoog Voyager and began playing around with soundscapes and stuff like that kind of with a view of doing stuff from the 80s 6 In September 2011 he produced an extended play for the band Blue Sky Archives and asked vocalist and drummer Lauren Mayberry if she would be interested in singing backing vocals for an electronic music project he and Doherty were working on Mayberry was intrigued by the offer as neither of them had any background in electronic music For me it was nice to write over different instruments and not have to try to sing and scream over live drums and a Marshall bass stack said Mayberry 7 The three musicians quickly bonded and spent the next few months writing and recording songs in a basement studio 7 8 During these sessions Mayberry wrote the lyrics and hooks Doherty provided melodic ideas and Cook produced the songs 7 Once the sessions had concluded the three decided that they worked well enough together to try and perform the songs as a band 9 The initial plan was to have Doherty sing lead vocals while Mayberry would sing backing vocals Mayberry was eventually promoted to lead vocalist after Cook and Doherty heard her singing abilities 9 In addition to her new role Mayberry became the band s frontwoman and gave the other members a reading list about the inner workings of the music industry 10 The band members settled on the name Chvrches stylised as CHVRCH3S which uses the Roman letter v instead of a u This spelling was chosen to differentiate themselves from actual churches in online search results 11 There was no conscious decision to have a name with religious connotations instead the band members felt that the name gave a strong vibe that could be interpreted in many different ways 8 Mayberry also noted that the v is a subtle nod to band names from the influential witch house genre of music including bands such as SALEM and Ritualz We did consider putting upside down crosses at either side of our name but that would have dated us I think said Mayberry 12 2012 2014 Breakthrough success and The Bones of What You Believe Edit Chvrches performing in 2012 Doherty noted how Chvrches began as a studio only project saying There wasn t really any goal other than to put a song out on the internet and see what kind of response we got 13 In May 2012 Chvrches posted its debut song Lies on the Neon Gold Records blog 9 Instead of a picture of the band members the song was accompanied by a picture of nuns in masks which added to the perceived religiosity of the Chvrches name 14 The response was almost immediate Lies reached number one on the MP3 aggregate blog The Hype Machine and similarly received constant airplay on SoundCloud and BBC Radio 1 7 The band members were amazed by the reaction to Lies It was unbelievable way beyond what we expected said Doherty 13 Despite the popularity of Lies Chvrches had yet to perform a live show 9 There was a growing expectation that the band would eventually perform live although the band members were anxious at the prospect 15 To curtail this fear Chvrches played its first two live shows under the name Shark Week before making its official debut at the Glasgow School of Art in July 7 When Chvrches began to attract A amp R representatives Mayberry was dismayed that most of them wanted to make her the central figure of the band one representative called her the next Pixie Lott 10 From the beginning the band s goal was to give equal treatment to all three members and to not have any one person become the focal point As Doherty stated We could have sold 200 000 more albums if we d hidden Iain and I from view and put Lauren on the cover of every magazine We ended up doing it in an indie band style We broke through via word of mouth It was about doing it in an honest right way 16 This mentality meant that the band had to decline early offers for photo shoots and interviews that excluded Cook and Doherty 16 Chvrches performing at Sasquatch Music Festival in 2013 Chvrches had already recorded eight other songs by the time Lies was released in case listeners wanted to hear more music 17 One of these songs The Mother We Share was released on 5 November 2012 as the band s debut single 18 The Mother We Share was similarly well received by listeners and was downloaded more than 32 000 times by September 2013 19 Around this time Chvrches co manager Campbell McNeil attempted to contact Glassnote Records founder Daniel Glass and gave Glass copies of Lies and another song called Recover 19 After travelling to the UK to see Chvrches live Glass signed the band to a recording contract in January 2013 To promote Chvrches managers McNeil and Danny Rogers launched a nonstop touring schedule which included several international performances Two months after signing with Glassnote Chvrches made its North American debut at the South by Southwest festival in Austin where the band won a Grulke Prize for best non American act 19 20 On 6 February 2013 Chvrches premiered the second single Recover 21 It was followed by Recover EP out on 25 March 2013 in the UK via Goodbye Virgin and 26 March
