October 2, 2014   Even without frontwoman Lauren Mayberry’s prominent voice, Chvrches still sound undeniably like themselves on their new single, “Under The Tide.” While the Glasgow trio have been busy touring the world, they released the quietly uplifting song this week that features synth player Martin Doherty on vocals. You can hear it below, as well as on Chvrches’ latest Spotify Sessions here. Another Ones To Watch alumnus, Lorde, also released a new single while on tour this week. “Yellow Flicker Beat” was made for The Hunger Games soundtrack, an eerily stripped back number that fits the dark turn the novel-to-film saga has taken lately.

Albums like Crush Songs, that manage to evoke these sentiments in a way that isn't sickly, cringe-worthy or trite, are always my favourite kind Read the rest of the review here.
