Good news for fans of Chvrches - it looks like the band have finally finished work on their second album.
The Scottish synth-pop trio (whose LP The Bones Of What You Believe was Gigwise's Album Of The Year in 2013), have been hard at work in the studio for some time - but now it looks like they're ready with the follow-up to their exquisite debut.
They took to Instagram to share the above image with the caption “WHEN YOU ARE FINISHED RECORDING AN ALBUM AFTER 5 MONTHS IN THE STUDIO.”
The band, who last year unveiled one-off tracks 'Get Away' and 'Dead Air' from Zane Lowe's Drive and The Hunger Games soundtracks respectively, say that their new album will be a 'progression' but not unfamiliar - taking in more of a Prince and Michael Jackson influence.
"Everyone knows you don't go mad weird until your third record," synth player Martin Doherty told Gigwise last year. "First album, you establish yourself, second album is similar but better and third album you can go as weird as you like."

This summer sees Chvrches return to the road with appearances at V Festival and Lollapalooza Berlin among others. We are excited.
