Chvrches announce fourth album with Robert Smith collaboration "How Not To Drown"
Chvrches have returned with news of their fourth album Screen Violence, and have shared their new single "How Not To Drown", which features The Cure's Robert Smith.
"How Not To Drown" sees Chvrches team up with Robert Smith of The Cure, and follows their April single "He Said She Said".
The new collaboration is accompanied by news of Chvrches' Screen Violence album, which will follow 2018 third album Love Is Dead.
Screen Violence was largely recorded remotely between LA and Glasgow, and is self-produced by the trio, who also mixed the record through video calls.
Lead vocalist Lauren Mayberry says of the album, "I think for me it was helpful to go into the process with the idea that I could write something escapist almost. That felt freeing initially, to have concepts and stories to weave your own feelings and experiences through but in the end, all the lyrics were definitely still personal."
Martin Doherty adds, "To me, the screen aspect was a bit more literal. When we were making the record, it was like half of our lives were lived through screens. What began as a concept was now a lifeline."
