'If it ain't broke don't fix it' seemed to be the game plan for CHVRCHES' second album Every Open Eye. Their debut album remains one of my favourite albums of the last few years and while their latest release doesn't possess the full impact of its predecessor, it certainly deserves a mention in any positive look back on the music of 2015.
Mainstream radio stations were quick to play Leave A Trace back in the summer and it feels like the band are getting some of the recognition they deserve. They even have the Royal Albert Hall in London on their schedule for the end of March - no mean feat for a band still relatively in its early years.
I'm a sucker for a good female vocal and Lauren Mayberry has one of those voices I could sit and listen to for hours. Throw in a decent electronic sound and it's no surprise I'm hooked. If you have the time give Never Ending Circles a quick spin. Otherwise enjoy a few minutes in the company of one of the best things to come out of Glasgow in years. On this the 21st and shortest day of the advent of indie music, here's the delightful sound of CHVRCHES - Empty Threat. Happy listening!
