CHVRCHES return with their eagerly anticipated new single GUN, due for release on Virgin Records / Goodbye Records in the UK on 15 July, available as a digital bundle and on 12-inch heavyweight pink vinyl, backed with a full suite of remixes.

GUN comes hot on the heels of RECOVER, the band’s first release on their own Goodbye Records imprint of Virgin Records, which was released in late March, following a festival-stealing run at SxSW in Austin, Texas, that saw the trio awarded the inaugural Grulke Prize for best international new act.

CHVRCHES are Iain Cook, Martin Doherty and Lauren Mayberry - three individuals bearing three distinct personalities on a consummate whole. Combining indie sensibilities and aesthetics with barbed pop hooks and and an unhealthy obsession with Prince, CHVRCHES take elements of classic electronica, hip hop and post-punk, and yet sound like none of the above. Their blend of classic and modern analogue synthesisers, bruised beats and crude vocal sampling came to the fore in their debut single THE MOTHER WE SHARE, released in late 2012, as it did in LIES, their first track that had seeped onto the internet months earlier. CHVRCHES were voted #5 in the BBC Sound of 2013, and #2 in the UK Blog Sound of 2013.
