Review:
Another good album from Chvrches
Love Is Dead is another very good album from Chvrches. They haven't really changed their formula of
melodic, danceable electro-pop with fine, multi-tracked vocals from Lauren
Mayberry delivering good lyrics. I'm
glad they haven't branched out much, because they do this very well indeed;
this may not be an absolute classic, but it's an extremely enjoyable album with
some very durable music on it.
If you liked Every Open Eye, you'll know you're on safe
ground from the moment you hear the opener, Graffiti, and the album continues
with a good, varied selection of tracks including some pretty obvious potential
stadium anthems – which is just fine by
me because it's what they're good at.
The lyrics are again evocative, thoughtful and sometimes political. Probably all I need to say is that if, like
me, you like Chvrches first two albums, then you'll like this. It's a very good band writing and performing
at their best, I think, and warmly recommended.
