CHVRCHES are a Scottish alternative electronic band from Glasgow, formed in 2011. The group consists of Lauren Mayberry (main vocals, occasionally synthesizers), Iain Cook (synthesizers, vocals), and Martin Doherty (synthesizers, vocals). According to BBC, their single "The Mother We Share" is "undeniably sad but also euphoric, it's a captivating calling card that sets them apart in 2013."
To date CHVRCHES have amassed well over 1 billion streams of tracks from their albums. Over the course of their career, CHVRCHES have played countless shows worldwide, with production reaching new heights on the Love Is Dead tour as they called at numerous prestigious venues; LA's Greek Theatre, the Sydney Opera House, London's Alexandra Palace and a huge hometown show in Glasgow at the SSE Hydro.
When the Glaswegian trio wrote and recorded their debut, The Bones Of What You Believe (2013), no one had heard of them. The three members (Iain Cook, Martin Doherty and Lauren Mayberry) came together with the idea of working on a writing project together, unsure of what path that would take other than one which belied their previous musical projects and foregrounded melody and classic songwriting styles before everything else. There were no pre-existing ideas of what the record would or should be like, no pre-conceptions and nothing to live up to; just three people in a basement studio in Glasgow making music they believed in.
