Chvrches Share “Gnarly” New Single “Never Say Die”
Chvrches have shared another single from their upcoming third album, Love Is Dead.
Titled "Never Say Die," the synth pop track shifts between soft and soaring, building from a twinkling, downtempo melody to a billowing but dark-toned chorus.
"'Never Say Die’ is one of my favorite songs on the record because it really leans into the juxtaposition of what we do—the mixture between the dark and the light,” singer Lauren Mayberry said in a statement, per Pitchfork. “It’s melodic and direct but uses some of the gnarliest sounds we’ve ever tried.”
She also said it’s one of the first songs they recorded with Greg Kurstin (Sia, Adele), who co-produced the record alongside the band.
"Never Say Die" follows “My Enemy," featuring the National's Matt Berninger, and "Get Out," both released earlier this year. Love Is Dead is expected May 25.
