CHVRCHES will return with a brand-new EP this Friday, November 16 th. Dubbed Hansa Session, it features five brand-new different versions of hymns taken from their most recent recording, Love Is Dead.
The updated portrayals were done using all-new acoustic and string quartet groupings. As its word advocates, much of the EP was registered at Berlin’s famed Hansa studios, where David Bowie accomplished his trilogy of albums( Low, “Heroes”, and Lodger ). Other legendary acts like Depeche Mode, U2, and Iggy Pop also logged epoch there.

The Glasgow synthpop outfit was also equally thrilled to framed a fresh spin on their Love Is Dead information. “It was really fun to try to reinterpret the psalms ,” said singer Lauren Mayberry,” and still express the contents and affections with various layouts .”
