Crafting songs with big synths and bigger melodies, the Scottish electro-pop trio Chvrches combines indie roots with a love of chart-friendly pop.
Their debut 2013 album bridged the gap between classic synth-pop and the brash, EDM-influenced sounds of the early 2010s, “usher[ing] in a new era of dance-pop with an indie soul” (Pitchfork). Now on tour for 2021’s Screen Violence, Chvrches has sharpened the edges and hooks of their songs and solidified their place as synth-pop standard-bearers.
