The Bones Of What You Believe

After much anticipation and inclusion in the BBC's Sound of 2013 shortlist, Chvrches' debut album surpassed the hype. The Glasgow trio's frosty synths and poignant melodies, particularly on songs like "The Mother We Share" and "Gun," set them apart from their contemporaries. Lead vocalist Lauren Mayberry's emotive voice adds depth to the synth pop sound, while Martin Doherty's tracks bring a Frightened Rabbit-esque vibe. Overall, The Bones of What You Believe is a powerful and refreshing addition to the pop music scene.
