#songoftheday / LYRIC VIDEO: CHVRCHES: “LEAVE A TRACE” + NEW ALBUM NEWS

I don’t think there was anyone on the planet who didn’t love CHVRCHES debut album, The Bones Of What You Believe.  If there was, well, clearly they have bad taste.  If there was one album from 2013 that was universally loved, it was that one.  After all, it was electronic enough to please the electro-pop crowd and art pop enough to please the art pop crowd.  But the songs were also as catchy as radio-friendly pop, so, yes, they pleased the top 40 crowd, too.  I’m not sure if they actually had any top 40 hits, but I have friends who normally only listen to what’s on Pandora or the radio — because they mostly hear music at work — and they loved them, too.  Well, all of these people are sure to love CHVRCHES incredible new single “Leave A Trace,” which is a rich, synth pop lover’s delight and it’s easily as infectious as their previously most irresistible song, “The Mother We Share.”  (More importantly, it’s also an intelligent pop song.)   I’ve already listened to it on Youtube at least 20 times.  I listen to it then I immediately have to hear it four more times in a row.  It’s that amazing.  To that end, I’m going to go buy it from the iTunes store as soon as I post this.  In fact, I think I’ll shut up and go do it right now.  Listen and love it, baby!
