Any fans?
Thats outstandingThis is how I feel like dancing to "we sink". awesome song. Lead singer is bloody cute too:
Recover is awesome too.The Mother We Share is something special, love her voice. Great debut album. Don't think they'd ever tour NZ though, hope I'm wrong about that.
I think the album was released about a week after the cut off point, so it's eligible for this year's Mercury prize.This band got plenty of acclaim, yet they're still fairly underrated imo. How many better albums than this have there actually been in the last five years? If the Mercury prize had any meaning they'd surely have won, no?
The problem with bands like these is they sound awful in live recordings like these where you lose all the bottom end, so much better in real life with the full range, you don't need the spectacle of what they're doing on stage quite as much.Saw their Reading performance and it's the same with any keyboard / synth / dance band however, there isn't much of a spectacle live apart from the lead singer.
Interesting, I can see that working out actually.The problem with bands like these is they sound awful in live recordings like these where you lose all the bottom end, so much better in real life with the full range, you don't need the spectacle of what they're doing on stage quite as much.
I'm a big Chvrches fan but for me this doesn't come close to the original. Half the awesomeness of that song is the riff, and their cover does away with it completely. Still a decent cover though, her voice sounds good singing anything pretty much.
I prefer this to the original.
She sings it in a different key (?) which I prefer to the original.I'm a big Chvrches fan but for me this doesn't come close to the original.

Thanks, enjoyed that.
I saw them at a festival last year and sounded good to me, but they were fairly fresh then so they may have no changed up their live act. I hate watching clips off recordings cos it always sounds crap.They don't seem great live, at least going off various YouTube clips from different festivals etc. The singer still sounds great, it's just that the music never seems to have life, and sometimes seems to be out of time. Pity, because her voice sounds great every time I've heard her, and on the record their songs have that perfect balance of sounding both calculated and alive.
