Indie-pop trio Chvrches is celebrating a major milestone in their career, the 10th anniversary of their debut album ‘The Bones Of What You Believe’. To mark the occasion, the band is releasing a special reissue album featuring four never-before-heard songs, including the newly released single ‘Manhattan’.
The band’s frontwoman, Lauren Mayberry, reflected on the album’s decade-long journey, saying “It feels quite strange that Bones is almost a decade old, In some ways, it’s like it just happened, but also like that era was a lifetime ago. We are very grateful to all the fans who gave that album a special place in their heart, and still show us so much kindness today.”
The reissue album features five live recordings from the band’s 2013 tour, as well as the previously unheard tracks ‘Manhattan’, ‘White Summer’, ‘Talking in My Sleep’, and ‘City on Fire’. Bandmate Iain Cook described the creation of ‘Manhattan’, saying “It was the first time we messed around with sampling and chopping up our vocals which would go on to become one of the hallmarks of the band’s sound.”
The special reissue album ‘The Bones Of What You Believe (10th Anniversary Edition)’ is set for release on October 13th, and will be available digitally, as well as in a clear vinyl pressing, 2xLP black vinyl pressing with die cut sleeve, and a 2xCD. Pre-order the album to get your hands on the new music.
In addition to the reissue album, frontwoman Lauren Mayberry has announced her debut solo single ‘Are You Awake?’ which is set for release on September 1st. Mayberry has also announced a series of autumn headline shows in the US, UK, and Europe.
Chvrches most recent single ‘Over’ was released back in February, marking the first material from the synth-pop trio since their 2021 album ‘Screen Violence’. The band has yet to discuss the future of their fifth album, however frontman Iain Cook has said “I’m pretty certain we’ll get round to album five in time.”
