Explained simply
Chvrches are a Scottish electronic pop trio whose music combines synthesizers with vocals and guitar. Their previous four albums all reached the UK top 10, and their last album, Screen Violence, came out nearly six years ago.
The group’s songs have covered both public issues and personal experiences. Their new album, All the King’s Men, is due in January, and its songs draw on that range of subjects.
