Jan 30, 2019 CHVRCHES By Christopher Roberts

Scottish electro-pop trio CHVRCHES released a new album, Love Is Dead, in May 2018 via Glassnote. Then in November they released the five-song Hansa Session EP that was recorded in Berlin’s Hansa Studios, the same studio where David Bowie recorded his iconic Berlin trilogy with Brian Eno in the 1970s (Low, “Heroes”, Lodger). Now they have announced some new spring U.S. tour dates that weave in and out of their Coachella performances. Check them out below, followed by the Hansa Session EP.

Previously CHVRCHES shared Love Is Dead‘s first four singles, “Get Out” (which was our #1 Song of the Week), “My Enemy” (which features the guest vocals of Matt Berninger of The National and EL VY and was also one of our Songs of the Week), the ultra shiny “Never Say Die” (which was once again one of our Songs of the Week), and “Miracle” (as well as a science fiction-themed video for “Miracle”). They also stopped by Ellen to make their daytime television debut and perform “Miracle” and shared a video for “Graffiti.”

Greg Kurstin (Adele, Tegan and Sara) co-produced nine of the album’s 13 songs and Steve Mac produced one song, “Miracle.” CHVRCHES are Lauren Mayberry, Iain Cook, and Martin Doherty.

CHVRCHES were on the cover of one of our print issues in 2015 and you can read the in-depth 8-page 5,600-word cover story feature on the band here. You can also read our bonus digital magazine Q&A with them here.
