In the early days of January, with not a lot of exciting new music on the horizon, I noticed Chvrches on a lot of year-end lists, wondered if their mostly keyboard and sample-driven take on synthpop would be up my alley, and decided to give their debut album a go. Usually I don’t find them this early, though. There are always several breakout bands each year that I kick myself for not paying attention to until the following year, when it’s too late to go back and cram them into the slots they deserve on my year-end lists. ![]() In Brief: With a haunting undercurrent beneath their deceptively chirpy exterior, the debut from this Scottish synthpop trio makes a solid case for the validity of laptop-driven music.
