Os escoceses da band The ChVurches, juntos de 2018, têm padrinhos fortes. De Dave Stewart a Robert Smith, eles estão crescendo. Mesclado o eletrônico com pop, eles seguem a linha de Depeche Mode, New Order e Eurythmics, entre outros.

O álbum de estréia, Every Open Eye’s foi elogiado pela crítica e essa semana lançaram o novo single, How not to Drown, todo gravado no estúdio deles, em Glasgow, durante a pandemia. O single conta com a maravilhosa participação do vocalista do The Cure. O álbum completo – Screen Violence – está previsto para ser lançado em agosto.

The ChVurches é formada por Iain Cook, Martin Doherty e Lauren Mayberry. As gravações do novo álbum foram feitas com video calls e apps de compartilhamento de música, mixado no estúdio da banda. Segundo a vocalista e letrista, Lauren, as músicas visavam algo escapista para um momento tão sufocante. Os fãs puderam ter uma breve olhada no estúdio pessoal do vocalista do The Cure em dezembro de 2020, quando ele fez uma live, de casa, para celebrar os 40 anos do álbum The Seventeen Seconds. Robert tocou algumas canções do álbum, à vontade e descalço.

Ouça aqui o single com The ChVrches, poderoso!

I’m writing a book on how to stay conscious when you drown
And if the words float up to the surface
I’ll keep them down
This is the first time I know

I don’t want the crown
You can take it now
You promised the world
And brought me it hanging from a string

Stuck in my mouth, into my throat
Told me to sing
That was the first time I knew
You can’t kill the king
And those who kiss the ring

Tell me how
It’s better when the Sun goes down
We will never escape this town
I wasn’t scared when he caught me
Look what it taught me

Tell me how
It’s better if I make no sound
I will never escape these doubts
I wasn’t dead when they found me
Watch as they pull me down

I’m writing a chapter on what to do after they dig you up
On what to do after you grew to hate what you used to love
That was the first time I knew
They were out for blood
And they would have your guts

Tell me how
It’s better when the Sun goes down
We will never escape this town
I wasn’t scared when he caught me
Look what it taught me

Tell me how
It’s better if I make no sound
I will never escape these doubts
I wasn’t dead when they found me
Watch as they pull me down

Watch as they pull me down
Watch as they pull me down
Pulling me down
Dead when they found me

Watch as they pull me down
Watch as they pull me down
Watch as they pull me down
Pulling me down
Dead when they found me
Watch as they pull me down

I’m writing a book on how to stay conscious when you drown
And if the words float up to the surface
I’ll keep them down
This is the first time I know

I don’t want the crown
You can take it now
You can take it now
Take it now
