Listen: Chet Faker reveals new single 'Melt' with Kilo Kish
International duo team up for new duet
- Chvrches - The Bones Of What You Believe, 23 September: In theory, what Chvrches are doing right now isn't particularly unique, but there's something so fresh in their ice-cold production and the so perfect in the Scottish twang in singer Lauren Mayberry's voice. Singles 'Gun' and 'Recover' suggest a collection of radio-friendly pop, but anyone to have caught their live shows will know things are gonna get a whole lot darker on their debut...

Australian soul god Chet Faker has revealed his brand new single, 'Melt', a collaboration with New York singer, Kilo Kish. Listen below.
The track follows his 2012 EP release, Thinking In Textures, and sees the bearded Aussie experiment more with his sound, but maintaining the chilled out r&b sounds that brought him to international attention.
Faker has been working with fellow Australian star Flume on an upcoming collaboration, with the duo having premiered new material at Flume's recent live shows.

Speaking to Gigwise back in May about progress on his debut album following on from Thinking In Textures, Faker said: "It's definitely more developed. It's richer I guess. If I listen back to the EP it's a lot simpler, there's usually only four parts going on at once, whereas the stuff i'm writing now, there is a lot more."
He added: "I have also moved away more from electronic synth sounds, and more toward traditional instrumentation, but producing it in a way so it does sound electronic. I've been more interested in sourcing the sounds from outside the computer, but then editing them within it, interestingly, rather than creating the initial sound in the computer."
