Arriving after a
year's worth of anticipation that included plenty of blogger
appreciation, several EPs, and inclusion in the BBC's Sound of 2013
shortlist, Chvrches' debut album, The Bones of What You Believe,
surpassed the significant hype surrounding it. Many of these songs
already appeared on those buzz-building EPs, most notably "The Mother We
Share," "Gun," and "Recover," all of which exemplify the Glasgow trio's
way with frosty synths and poignant melodies. Taken as an album,
though, they reveal a band not nearly as arty or aloof as seemingly
like-minded contemporaries such as Grimes or Purity Ring; with their
ready hooks and fondness for grand gestures, Chvrches are more likely to
tour with Paramore than Factory Floor.
As their early EPs hinted, a large part of their appeal comes from
Lauren Mayberry's voice. There's something about her bright, slightly
raspy soprano that grabs ears and hearts, even though she spends most of
the album telling off those near and dear to her: on "Lungs," she sings
"All the things you tell yourself offer no resolution" to a melody so
sweet that it just sharpens the sting of her words, and the way she
delivers the refrain "I'll be a thorn in your side" on "We Sink" sounds
more like a promise than a threat. While keyboardist/vocalist Martin
Doherty's lead turns on "Under the Tide" and the dreamy album closer
"You Caught the Light" offer pleasant respites from Mayberry's
intensity, he's just not as captivating a presence as she is, and his
tracks take the band in a direction that sounds more like a synth-driven
version of Frightened Rabbit or the Twilight Sad (in fact, Doherty was a
touring member of the latter band). Like those bands, as well as their
'80s influences, Chvrches embrace big sounds and feelings without a
trace of irony, whether it's "Tether"'s massive drums or Mayberry's
pleas to "make me blind so I don't ever look back" on the slow-building
"Night Sky." Even on the darkest moments, such as "Lies" or
"Science/Visions," there's a disarming emotional directness to The Bones
of What You Believe that makes it a unique, fully realized take on a
style that seemed close to being played out.
