Their new track is the first release from the trio since lauded 2021 album, Screen Violence and will run as a supporting act for Coldplay in South America. This year will also mark a new chapter for the trio, as it will be the 10th anniversary of their debut album, The Bones Of What You Believe, in September.

OVER IS OUT NOW

We finished this song over the holidays and the way it explores themes of trying to exist in an escapist dreamscape when life is difficult felt timely so we didn't want to wait to put it out.

“Over” is a high-energy track that highlights the band’s ability to craft an earworm. Singer, Lauren Mayberry’s hush-toned vocals was able to guide the listener along a melodic journey, as the group’s electronic production and synth-laden arrangement keeps the song driving forward.

Oscar Holter was the main producer CHVRCHES worked with behind this single and their collaboration ceased out of their Screen Violence era, racing towards something completely new and unexplored. The band commented, “Over is a song that we wrote with Oscar Holter, a producer we really respect and admire. Normally we collect songs over the course of months (or years!) until we have an album’s worth of material, but this time we just wanted to release something we were excited about and give the fans something new to mark the ‘Screen Violence era and the start of whatever the next CHVRCHES chapter might be.”  

The lyrics are an existential exploration of the idea that “no matter what, we’re still here.” The chorus, “we’ll never be over,” repeated throughout the single, which is served to remind the listener that hoping for the best is the way to go, even in the darkest of times.

The music video for “Over” was released alongside the songs’ streaming debut. It was also in the same place for the first time since their 2018 album, Love Is Dead. It features the band performing in a post-apocalyptic world, surrounded by snow and ruins. The visuals accompany the uplifting themes of the song and effectively encouraged viewers to hold on to hope in the face of despair.

All in all, “Over” is a powerful and emotionally resonant track that fully displays the band’s talent. It’s an inspiring reminder that no matter what life throws our way, we’ll never be over.

Honoured to have collaborated with John Carpenter @TheHorrorMaster and @SacredBones on a new 7-inch featuring Good Girls (John Carpenter Remix) and our remix of his song “Turning The Bones.”

But, that was not enough for the Glasgow-based synth-pop pioneers. Now with their fourth album, Screen Violence, released today. It includes ‘Good Girls’, ‘He Said She Said’, and ‘How Not To Drown’ featuring The Cure’s, Robert Smith. The band makes new evolutions to their sound as they expand upon their range. Across the 10 tracks, the band comes back with everything we have been waiting for since the band’s last record, especially on the final song ‘Better If You Don’t’.

“Making this record was really good for finding something to centre you when it felt like the whole world was on fire,” the band said in discussion with NME regarding their latest LP.

With the album out and gaining traction. Chvrches set up their gear to tour new material in America in November, but come back to their roots as of March 2022. During the tour, the band is hitting up Newcastle, London, and Birmingham. Support acts have not been announced but there is a positive hum around the tour.
