Chvrches kondigt ‘Every Open Eye’ aan

De synthpop band Chrvrches heeft album nummer twee aangekondigd. De opvolger van The Bones Of What You Believe uit 2013, zal Every Open Eye gaan heten, en op 25 september via Universal Records uitgebracht worden.

In een interview met Pitchfork doet frontvrouw Lauren Mayberry een boekje open over de thema’s op dit tweede album:

“Because the album was written over such a long period of time, it’s about the goods and the bads, the beginnings and ends. Personally, I’m in a good place right now, but there’s definitely anti-love songs on there as well. “Leave a Trace” is 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.” It makes me feel better to write about that—I’ve done something constructive with it. You don’t put that on other people, you put that into what you do. That’s always the way I’ve written lyrics. My ex-partners are not friends with me, but I’m OK with that.”
