Chvrches have unveiled the first single from their newly announced second LP accompanied with a lyric video.
The track, unveiled on Annie Mac's Radio 1 show last night (16 July), is the first to be pulled from the Scottish group's second album Every Eye Open which is due out this September.
Chvrches unveiled the new track alongside two other new songs entitled 'Clearest Blue' and 'Make Them Gold' during their set at RBC Bluesfest. You can now wrap your ears around the full studio version which channels the group's innate ability to churn out a synth-pop hit.
Lauren Mayberry described the track in Pitchfork last month as "the middle finger mic-drop. It’s about that point where you’re like, 'There’s no point having this conversation anyways: There will be no resolve, I won’t feel better about it, you won’t feel better about it, no outcome from this will actually change my reality.'"
