Chvrches release new song ‘Never Ending Circles’

Scottish trio Chvrches have released new song Never Ending Circles, premiering it on Zane Lowe’s Beats 1 show. The new song follows the previous release Leave a Trace, off their highly anticipated sophomore album Every Open Eye.

The synth-laden epic follows the traditional formula of a Chvrches song, starting off with heavy synth rifts and the repetitive vocal refrain of front woman Lauren Mayberry’s unmistakably high voice, before reaching the chorus, which goes:

Here’s to taking what you came for
And here’s to running off the pain
And here’s to just another no man
If you want another
Say you need another

Using the usual exasperated, albeit enthusiastic, lyricism endemic of a Chvrches song, it’s a beautiful, high-energy melody to lose your thoughts to, while you’re commuting from work or feeling just a little bit existential.

   

Having come to public attention after the release of their single The Mother We Share, the band followed up with 2011’s critically acclaimed LP The Bones of What You Believe in 2013. Next single Recover reached a the 12th position on the Billboard’s Top 200 chart. The band have toured extensively and are scheduled to play at Berlin’s Lollapalooza and the Fun Fun Fun Fest in Austin, Texas.

Mayberry also made headlines in 2013 for penning an open to letter through The Guardian about the slew of online sexism and misogyny she faced for being a female performer in the Internet age. Her stand against the abuse earned widespread praise for her willingness to speak out against the kinds disgusting treatment female performers must deal with on a constant basis.
