The band have released 3 critically acclaimed and commercially successful albums; 2018’s Love Is Dead being their third consecutive album to achieve a top 10 chart ranking in the UK. CHVRCHES have toured the world numerous times, playing every major festival in the process. As artists, they have continuously challenged stereotypes and are unafraid to speak out on social issues, whilst being actively involved with several organisations campaigning for positive change: 7 Inches For Planned Parenthood, the Girl’s Home, and Girls Rock Glasgow.

Love Is Dead

Love Is Dead is CHVRCHES' third album, following their top 10 debut The Bones of What You Believe (2013) and its top 5 critically acclaimed follow up Every Open Eye (2015). Featuring the singles ‘Miracle’, ‘Get Out,’ and ‘My Enemy’ (feat.
