CHVRCHES' album, 'The Bones Of What You Believe' leaked.
I've only listened to it twice so to reach any conclusions about it yet is obviously premature.
I'll say this, it's not as immediate as I was expecting it to be given the real hits they've knocked out so far, but I don't mean that in a bad way. On first listen, there was a lot on there that didn't jump out at me but even just after a second listen it's starting to come alive.
My favourites from the new stuff so far would be:
'We Sink' (Not as brilliant as 'Liars' and 'Gun' but not far off)
'Tether' (Good build up with guitars taking some prominence, to a dance-floor explosion at the end).
'Under The Tide' (Male vocals on this one and I think it works)
'Science/ Visions' (Liking this one more and more)
'You Caught The Light' (Big strong emotive track to finish with).
I'm not disappointed with it, which is a relief, because frankly, I was quite disappointed with Factory Floor (though it seems I'm going to be in a minority there). Refreshingly (and surprisingly) this may be a bit of a 'grower' rather than a straight up pop 'shower'.
May well buy this. Haven't bough a CD since Savages released their debut so it's about bloody time, I guess.
