nre-mashing synthpop bliss
With nearly a decade of sublime electronica behind them, Chvrches maintain the momentum of 2018’s Greg Kurstinproduced Love Is Dead, and here, on the self-produced album number four, still sound like they have everything to prove. Screen Violence is a punchy and determined effort, full of big hooks and awash with glittering synth textures.
