CHURCHES are two boys and a girl from Glasgow, and that's about all we know at this juncture. That, and the fact that debut single "Lies" is absolutely massive, a godless hurricane of kinetic pop energy that's the kind of thing Neon Gold dreams are made of. Coming off like a post-apocalyptic Alphabeat as produced by Mark Foster, it's an all-out sonic assault, carpet bombing synth flares blocking out the sun as they rain down over militaristic drums and an authoritative female vocal. Visceral and destructive, it's a powerful debut that will have even the most skeptical pop listener believing in the power of CHURCHES in no time at all.

ReplyDeleteStonking tune.
ReplyDeleteLast time I heard a sound as big as this was when I saw an elephant sliding down a razor blade using it's testicles for brakes.
WHAT IS HAPPENING? TO MY EARS?
ReplyDeleteWell, your ears got caught between the balls and the razor, that's why...
ReplyDeletethis is ridicolously amazing and excellent.

Really fucking good!
ReplyDeleteWell, this is NICE! Will there be an EP or album or anything I can purchase? And one more time the Scots showed me that they have a brilliant taste in composing music. Hellyeah!
ReplyDeleteI Love it and I want more ...
ReplyDeleteGreat stuff!
My gawd but this song sticks to my brain like sausage meat to a scotch egg... now pass me some worcestershire sauce.
