It’s been a month and a half since Chvrches surprised us with a new single, but the Scottish trio have followed that up in a big way with details on their fourth album—entitled “Screen Violence“, available August 27th through Glassnote Records—along with another new song featuring Robert Smith who, between his decade-old Crystal Castles feature and last year’s Gorillaz spot, is no stranger to knocking guest verses out of the park.
The video for the collaboration, called “How Not to Drown,” which taps into the re-emerging cyberpunk fad of the ’90s with a visual palette that distinctly recalls The Matrix. Smith’s face appearing on a giant screen for his verses feels pretty familiar at the tail end of a year full of Zoom calls.
