Here's their set from Glastonbury: http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/p021g7z7/glastonbury-2014-chvrches-on-the-john-peel-stage

Very impressed with their set. Lauren's vocals were great and the Jolene bit was pretty funny.

That track, and Under the Tide grew on me so much after seeing them live. They sounded amazing live.
I've known of them since The Mother We Share from about a year ago and a few of the singles since. I liked them a lot but didn't get around to listening to their album until a few days ago. I listened to it twice and watched the Glastonbury set and a number of other live performances on YouTube. They've been on a constant loop in my head since. I may need an intervention.

iTunes software is still involved to purchase the album but they are 256kbps AAC DRM free tracks means you can just load it in whichever music player/phone you prefer. Just drag and drop to your device or player and you're good to go.
Sorry for the super late reply, lol. Just came from the Linkin Park/Chvrches thread.

As someone who does not really listen to pop music, this is actually pretty damn good. I might have to check this band out a bit more.
Their Glastonbury set was pretty good. It's on iPlayer for anyone who can access it: http://www.bbc.co.uk/events/errnc8/acts/a6g6v2#p021g7z7

I definitely think Lauren's live singing has gotten a lot better recently. I always thought her pre-album singing could be incredibly patchy (the Pitchfork performance of Now Is Not The Time, for example), but she's improved considerably.

It's on the Deluxe album! My favorite track of their's is Now is Not the Time. I wish that was on the album, but I got the Recover EP for the song, anyways. I was really hoping they were going to play it when I went to see them live, but they did not.

They've been touring like crazy. I saw them at Bonnaroo and they played a solid set and sounded really good. Lauren interacted with the audience She commented on how juvenile we were because someone drew a penis on a blow up beach ball. I laughed it off. She does have a politically correct streak that kind of turns me off though. I can look past it because their music is so blissful.
Regardless, I'm ready for them to record some new music.

She also pointed out the big blow up penis with a smiley face at their Lolla set last Friday. They put on a great show though, like always.

Saw them last night in Tampa. Fantastic show, had a lot of fun! They also played a unreleased song which was pretty cool!
Also, whoever was on Gaf in front of me at the venue, I salute you.

Holy shit. That was probably me! You should have said something! I was solo for that show since no one in my group cares for this amazing band. But yeah, that show was some god tier stuff.
The lead singer does a fabulous job interacting with the audience. She's also too damn cute.

On the right side of The Ritz, in front of the steps? My GF and I were right behind you. Haha, crazy! I feel bad for not saying anything. Maybe a TampaGAF meetup is in order, hahaha.
Hell yeah! That was me. I needed to kill time in between the opening act and Chvrches. Would have loved talking to another Gaffer.
If you ever see a GAFfer in real life, just go say hello. It's worth it.
They were fantastic at ACL -- saw them last November here at an outdoor show and it was fucking freezing.. like, in the 20s or low 30s. Everyone was miserable but they killed it. She referenced how different the temperature was from their last time through and those of us who were there could only nod in vigorous approval. I believe their performance from weekend 2 will be broadcast online so look for that on Friday (or Saturday? I forget).

Gonna see them tonight in Orlando, can't wait
My closest friend I met via Gaf. So any Gaffers who talk to me will get a lovely reception. Not all Gaffers are crazy people.
I will be there as well! Really looking forward to it.

Did any GAFers go tonight?
It was pretty good. Lauren's stage presence kinda sucks though
Also scored like 6 free tickets to Lykke Li on Thursday so that's cool roo

Saw them at Osheaga, YouTubes of their live show does not do them justice (actually makes them sound kinda bad IMO).
Was one of the better shows I saw that weekend. Agreed that Under the Tide switched from no to go for me after seeing them live.

So I discovered them through The Mother We share via Forza Horizon 2 (actually had a bit of a bet going on with Turn 10 community manager lol) and now I can't stop listening to the album!
I'm glad to see from comments in here that their live shows are good. I have to admit that I was not exactly impressed after looking at live videos on youtube.
Also... That Night sky chorus... sooo goood.

Lykke Li puts on a hell of a live show, that should be a good one.

Yeah, the only complaint I have about them live is her stage presence. Seen them 3 times now and while worth it, I hope she gets more comfortable performing live. She just comes across as slightly nervous at times to me.
Big day for CHVRCHES fans...
a decent quality boot of Richard Pryor is out there:

Why are they rescoring Drive? The soundtrack was perfect as is.
Because reasons?
Really I don't know. Pretty sure Zane's explained it somewhere if you look for it. I've definitely seen many comments like yours on the Facebook page. I myself never watched Drive for some reason. But hey... new songs from Chvrches and other current bands for the effort and the original is always there. Win-win?

It's funny but almost every year FIFA has at least one song on it's soundtrack that helps me discover a great band.
I've been enjoying this album for a while now. Didn't realise there was an OT for it until today.
So this afternoon they posted about a song on the Hunger Games soundtrack and I thought we had a 3rd new song but once I was listening to them again on the way home I've realised that what people are calling "Richard Pryor" is actually "Dead Air". The good news is that means we'll get a studio version soon.
I'm surprised. She was talking about people fingerbanging at a club pretty casual at our show.
