Chvrches take their ethereal synth pop to new heights as they team up with J-pop group Wednesday Campanella for "Out Of My Head".

Chvrches have revealed a new track that features Japan's pop group, Wednesday Campanella.

"Out Of My Head" is the first single from Chvrches since their third album Love Is Dead which dropped in May.

The impressive anime-style video is directed by Junichi Yamamoto.

Frontwoman Lauren Mayberry explains more about the track, "Japan has always been a really special place for Chvrches and we were really excited to put together something special for our fans there. Kom_I has such a strong, individual voice in her music and how she conducts herself as a person - something that I really admire - and we were so lucky that she wanted to collaborate on this track.”

Wednesday Campanella's Kom-I expresses her thoughts surrounding the collaboration, “I was asked by Lauren that I should express my strong emotion and vent my anger to the song. I realised that I personally have little chance to feel the tears welling up with strong anger - probably because I recently turned 25 years old, and have been given warm support by many people around me. However, even though I have obtained freedom, the world is not yet changed and we can never have completely assured lives in this era. So I wrote this for giving a pep talk to myself who is being left half done. Kawasaki meets Glasgow, Kiyoshiro Imawano meets David Bowie, and Edamame meets Fish & Chips.”

Chvrches are currently touring the US and will arrive to play London's Alexandra Palace on 7 February 2019. Find out more.
