Chvrches release their new record Every Open Eye this week, and as they approach the finish line, they've chucked out a cover. Of Justin Bieber.
Covering his slick new ditty "What Do You Mean?", the synthpop trio add squelchy synths and icy-cool stabs - it's still pretty chilled out, but Lauren Mayberry's voice adds a new dimension to the track.
Every Open Eye follows 2013 debut LP The Bones Of What You Believe, and will be out 25 September on Virgin EMI/Goodbye.
Check out the cover below.
