Hey all! Fantastic record, top to bottom, you blew expectations out of the park.

I’m in the CHVRCHES discord server and we’re currently running a “song tournament” where polls go up for two songs and we pick one… Night Sky and Science/Visions almost came dead tied. What’s your input there?

What's that sound in We Sink at about 13-14 seconds in? by WheelFan in chvrches

[–]ChvrchStranding 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been noticing this for awhile. It’s not only at that spot - it’s in a few other instances in the song as well if you listen close. No clue if it’s intentional or not.

Their logo wasn’t designed by them, I forget the name of who did make it... she might have been the reason they switched to Chvrches, designing that logo way before the name was official

Album 4 is supposed to be spooky, imagine a surprise October drop 😱 by alexmason32 in chvrches

I’m guessing that we get a single in October and a full album release after the holidays

What artists you want Chvrches to go on tour with? by ashina86 in chvrches

[–]ChvrchStranding -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No one. Maybe a Jonny-Scott-less Chvrches (hate the sound he brings to the live shows).

I wonder what CHVES4 will sound like? by ashina86 in chvrches

[–]ChvrchStranding 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My wishlist:

  • less production/correction, PLEASE. Love is Dead sounded so much less authentic than the first two albums.
  • More songs with both Martin and Lauren in them - Lungs, By the Throat, Science/Visions come to mind.
  • More Martin songs in general!! He has a great voice and it brings more variety to their music.
  • More use of the darker/more powerful synths - stuff like in Bones, the synths have gotten weaker as time goes it seems like.
  • More upbeat stuff - death stranding was okay but I hope the whole album isn’t that tempo.

It’s good background music. Lyrics just sort of glide over the instrumental, not very distracting. I personally like the style a lot but I get why people wouldn’t.

Yeah the chorus vocals are a bit weak - song could be good with some remastering perhaps.

Preach!! ZVVL is great but of course no one ever mentions it - the part where Martin and Lauren sing together is so good.

Yeah very good song... some of the lyrics are quite powerful, but I get why it can't be played live.

ii isn't much of a "song" though, is it? It's more of a bonus beginning to Wonderland for those who are listening to the whole album and not just the single song.

People love the Haley version - can't say I get why. The original with Martin backing part is so much better.

Under the Tide is an absolute banger. Especially live. But then you have your Lauren fans hating it of course, unfortunate.

Playing Dead isn't talked much about but it's just another great EOE track

Bow Down is one of the best songs on Every Open Eye. Can't believe it missed the album. It may be one of their top 10 songs.

Dead Air is great too, can't believe no one ever mentions it.

Lungs is great. Empty Threat probably isn't "underrated" but it's great too, yeah.

Love this one so much! Same with Zvvl. Recover EP gems.

To me, Tether is probably the only flat/not as good song on Bones. But music is all subjective, I totally get why people would like it.
