23 Sep
Summary
- New single 'Roses' marks Chvrches' first music after hiatus.
- Song reflects political state with folk melody interpolation.
- Band will perform charity shows in Glasgow and London.
The Scottish synth-pop band Chvrches has announced their comeback with the release of a new single titled "Roses." This track signifies the trio's first musical output following an extended hiatus and Lauren Mayberry's recent solo endeavors. The song is described as a "mission statement for the band's sonic shift," incorporating reflections on the political landscape of Britain.
Mayberry expressed that the band aimed to push their boundaries during their longest break between albums, striving for a more cohesive vision. "Roses" notably interpolates the classic English folk song "Ring a Ring o' Roses." Chvrches is scheduled to perform two charity concerts in October, with dates set for Glasgow on October 26 and London on October 29.
Chvrches' last album, Screen Violence, was released in 2021. Following this, Mayberry pursued a solo career, releasing her album Vicious Creature in December 2024 and touring throughout 2025. The band had previously confirmed they were working on new music, premiering a song called "Conman" earlier this year.
