The Bones of What You Believe by CHVRCHES
The Bones of What You Believe is an album by CHVRCHES, released in 2013. 2 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 22 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “The Mother we Share”, on 21 lists with a best position of #5.
The Bones of What You Believe, the debut album from Glasgow trio Chvrches, came out in 2013 on Virgin and Goodbye, and it's synth-pop that sparkles and stings at once. Lauren Mayberry, Iain Cook and Martin Doherty wrote and produced it themselves between 2011 and 2013 in their home city, stacking bright, glassy synthesizers under Mayberry's clear, cutting voice.
"The Mother We Share" had already made waves on the Recover EP, and it's still the song the countdowns come back to, with "Lies" joining it. The album arrived with a launch party streamed live on Boiler Room, in a standard 12-track version and an 18-track special edition, and Every Open Eye followed.
