Programado para chegar em 22 de janeiro de 2027, o quinto álbum da Chvrches será o primeiro desde que lançaram “Screen Violence” em 2021. Visite aqui para pré-encomendar.

Com o single recentemente lançado “Roses”, o álbum chega depois que o trio formado por Lauren Mayberry, Iain Cook e Martin Doherty fez uma pausa após a turnê de 2023 e prometeu adotar uma nova abordagem musical ao retornar.

While ‘Screen Violence’ was written remotely, ‘All The King’s Men’ saw the the Scottish synth-pop stars write and record over multiple intense three-week stints in Glasgow, where they embraced experimentation.

The end result is 11 songs that explore the culture and history of Britain and Scotland, which the trio have delved into after spending years in the US.

For Doherty, this approach came after he frequently returned to Scotland to spend time with his mother, and found himself inspired by filmmakers like Ken Loach, and British artists like Massive Attack, Siouxsie & The Banshees, who never shied away from tackling social issues.

Isso foi acompanhado pela nova abordagem de composição de Cook, que ainda residia na Escócia e começou a se afastar da eletrônica e abraçar instrumentos acústicos, inspirado por Nick Drake, Bert Jansch e Incredible String Band.

The ‘All The King’s Men’ tracklist is.

1. ‘Roses’ 2. ‘Evil’ 3. ‘Adore You’ 4. ‘Overthinker’ 5. ‘Royal Blue’ 6. ‘Comedown Tomorrow’ 7. ‘Friend Of A Friend’ 8. ‘Three Out Of Five’ 9. ‘Conman’ 10. ‘Jamie’s Prayer’ 11.

Embora ainda não tenha sido oficialmente lançada, Chvrches apresentou 'Conman' durante sua performance no Royal Albert Hall, na série de shows do Teenage Cancer Trust de Robert Smith, no início deste ano.

The song opened with a pulsing, industrial bass, as Mayberry sang: “A man made for the microphone fills my pockets full of stones / All of his wives, all of his nine lives dance on the edge of a knife.”.

The band are set to play an intimate homecoming show in Glasgow and another in London next week, with all proceeds going to charity. Now they have announced a full tour across the UK, Ireland and North America.

Dates kick off in Philadelphia in February, and include stops in Washington, Chicago, Los Angeles and more over the following month. The tour then heads across the pond in April and May, and includes a headline show at London’s O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire on May 6.

Back in summer summer, Chvrches hinted at a new album on the way, and Doherty and Scott later told NME that fans could expect it to be “the most fearless record” they have ever made.

Desde o lançamento do último álbum, Mayberry lançou seu primeiro LP solo “Vicious Creatures” em dezembro de 2024.

As for Doherty and Cook, the former joined forces with Chvrches drummer Jonny Scott to launch the rave-indebted project The Leaving earlier this year, while the latter teamed up with Scott Paterson formerly of Sons & Daughters in 2022 to launch the project Protection.
