Chvrches has been on the tongue of many medias around the world. Their debut album The Bones Of What You Believe has been acknowledged by the society and gotten critical acclaim around the world. There is no mistake that the trios debut is a fine crafted and detailed product that gives the band a good starting point to a great career.
The sounds on this album are top notch. Every song has been masterfully designed and made to capture the listener in every way possible. Everytime you listen to the album again you find some new sides on the songs that you have never heard before. The co-operation of Iain Cook and Martin Doherty in the synthesizers and vocals are the cornerstone to the songs and the fragile but strong vocals of Lauren Mayberry takes the music to another level.
Many songs on the album tell about running away and not facing your responsibilities. These captivating lyrics on some songs make you feel if Lauren Mayberry has a grudge for someone. The creepily fragile lyrics of catching the person you are after and tearing him down (Gun) or the heartbreaking feeling of holding on (Under The Tide) gives the slightly melancholic electronic sounds a really cool vibe.
Lauren Mayberrys singing takes a big role on the album and as the main character on the trio, but Mr. Cook and Mr. Doherty are not giving up playing the aggressive but beautiful backgrounds on the songs. On two songs Mayberry slides to the side and Martin Doherty takes the lead to sing the vocals. This gives a nice variety to the album and shows that the trio has though carefully the songs structures.
The Bones Of What You Believe has combined everything you want from a electronic band. The vast samples and captivating singing of Lauren Mayberry keeps the listener hooked until the end of the record. And the capturing choruses of the songs will stay in your head like a thorn in your side.
4/5
