But in actual fact, cheers, this is pretty great. I shall be playing this a lot over the next few days.

Most adopt that faux warbling shit. This kinda sounds like a scottish Ellie Goulding.

I like also the subtle industrial sounds.

The other songs seems to be also great.

They were great.

they're playing Edinburgh this week?

selling real fast fyi

It's the LA SUXXX of 2012!

this is half of areogramme/unwinding hours/twilight sad

having been at their first (and still only, i think) glasgow show this is all a bit mental, me and Lauren have lived in the same flat!

I just fucking love her voice I think, music's cool too though.

and I'll say it again;

Enough with the single pluralised word band names. Particularly geographical ones.

Fucking Churches. Not as good as Cathedrals.

Really neat!

but then it does sound like Paramore dunked in the lighter side of Crystal Castles

she has such a good accent, and the beat sounds massive

Quite similar to Purity Ring, that's not a bad thing though is it?

I'd be pleasantly surprised if they can carry this formula through to a strong album. Dave ^there mentioned Purity Ring, and I can see the similarity for sure, but this is more well worn electro pop to me, and even Purity Ring suffered a little bit on their album from being one trick ponies.

Still, be happy to be proved wrong.

I CAN'T BELIEVE HOW GOOD THE NEW SINGLE IS IS

I THINK I NEED A LIE DOWN

weird...

Esp. the rhythm section. Amazing song.

Seems pretty likely, given their sound.

But I of course mean 'We Share Our Mother's Health' in particular.

I think it's not too late to come with an entirely new band name if Churches (with "u") is gone...

I really hope this will not be the official video.

didn't know if he was a label boss or summat

"VIDEO EDIT BY *_* (ttp://www.facebook.com/angelmiike)";

PS: he ate a "h"...

Definitely the best new band I've heard this year.

maybe that's not what you're looking for idk. It seems strange to me to hold something in such high esteem that treads a path that's already so well worn, without bringing much else in. I guess they've got plenty of time to figure that out though, i loved the purity ring album, which is an example of people getting this sort of thing right.

Sorry to be a killjoy

and maybe the lead singer a bit after watching that video so many times.

Good stuff.

Jenny Lewis does it in several Rilo Kiley songs and it's always the sexiest thing ever.

Another recent example: Phantogram - 'Don't Move'

moar plz

- at the beginning of "Artificial Nocturne": "I'm just as fucked up as they say / I can't fake the daytime".

- "Satellite Mind": "Flashback of a feeling, sixth sense of a call / And heard you fuck through the wall, I heard you fuck"

- "Crowd Surf a Cliff": "It's not for a fuck, or a kiss / Rather give the world away than wake up lonely / Everywhere and every way I see you with me / Crowd surf off a cliff".

The problem I have with Churches is the same sad story that has ruined chances many talented unsigned Scottish Bands that have struggled from the sidelines which is unbiased favouritism from those privileged to be “connected”

IMO it’s not the second coming that everyone in Glasgow or Blogburn are building them up to be. It’s a band that played in a very heavy style (I’m a massive gramme fan) to jumping on the electro synth bandwagon to appease the Murdoch & Kapranos tastemakers of Glasgow

I wouldn’t have a problem with Churches if other promising unsigned bands in Scotland got the same amount nationwide praise / admiration. It just seems that no other new bands in Scotland exist except Churches - who have well known contacts around Glasgow and chummy with the right people.

At the end of the day I know the White Knights of this thread will tell me that “you know nothing“ and whatever but spare a thought for those hard working bands in Scotland who deserve the same amount of press/live reviews as Churches have unfairly gotten in the space of 4 months.

I'll probably develop diabetes at that gig.

and that ensures you entry, or it's going to be first come first serve too... I got a bunch for me and pals anyway.

I've never been to the venue so have no idea how big it is, hopefully shouldn't be too much of an issue.

but the v in the name is just a stylised u, the same as Edinburgh Council use. They're still Churches on Facebook.

where they said they changed it just to make it easier to Google them. Makes sense.

LOVE YOU DOK

It's just that I've heard people talking about their stupid unpronounceable name before.

With you on that one, it's clearly just pronounced Churches!

Here is a HD video with two songs performed live: "The Mother We Share" & "Lies" (near the end): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hu1Q7UNiq6Y

Excellent quality.

Good find!

Glasgow seems to be on the up just now. Chvrches and Holy Esque are great. From what I heard last night both are on the verge of deals with Warner and HE invited to play SXSW next year.

I want to wrap her up in a blanket and bring her tea and Marmite on toast.

OH GOD I'M OLD

and i'm 24.

Cannot wait

nah, I had sort of the same thought (substituting American comfort foods for British staples). I'm always surprised to see somebody be nervous on stage when they clearly have talent and an attentive audience.

So far, there's one video for "The Mother We Share" live: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pD9LQ73QHwE
