The Bones of What You Believe
“The Scottish trio Chvrches’ debut is a seamless fusion of emotive theatrics, hook-loaded songwriting, and some of the most forward-thinking sonic tricks employed in electronic music right now. There are a dozen world-beating songs here, and The Bones of What You Believe bleeds big-scale ambition from every synthesized pore.”
Screen Violence
“songs like horror vignettes, and their best album yet”
Love Is Dead
“As album titles come, ‘Love Is Dead’ is a hefty one. Weighty with fiery pessimism, like a Jenny Holzer mantra etched angrily into a slab of stone, it’s a starting point that doesn’t leave a lot of space for hope. Or so you’d think, anyway.

Yet one of the most striking things about the Scottish synth-pop group is how well each of trio’s albums stands on its own: they don’t seem like successive entries in a catalog that is building toward some all-encompassing Grand Statement so much as from”
Every Open Eye
“Nearly every moment of Chvrches' follow up to The Bones of What You Believe radiates with sky-high aspiration, the verses and pre-choruses and choruses in brutal competition to be called "the hook." The fine-tuning and craft is deeply embedded in the music, which exudes that uncanny, priceless quality of the truly popular: confidence.”
