Music/Album Reviews

CHVRCHES
Screen Violence

CHVRCHES' album cover for Screen Violence

Genre: Synthpop
Sound: Gleaming synths and mesmerizing vocals you can vibe to.
If you like: Wolf Alice, Foxes
Why you should listen: This horror-inspired album takes notes on horror movie tropes, though the actual lyrical content is more hopeful than expected. There’s social commentary about modern society and dealing with depression, all wrapped up in sparkly melodies.
Best track: How Not to Drown (ft. Robert Smith)
