User Album Review
As album titles come, ‘Love Is Dead’ is a hefty one. Weighty with fiery pessimism, like a Jenny Holzer mantra etched angrily into a slab of stone, it’s a starting point that doesn’t leave a lot of space for hope. Or so you’d think, anyway. In the case of CHVRCHES’ third album, the statement comes with a silent, but enormous, question mark. Leaving behind their native Glasgow, jetting off Stateside to record with pop powerhouse Greg Kurstin (their first time working with an outside producer), and turning the personal towards the political, the band have instead made a record that investigates whether love is worth saving again in these dark political times.
You sense that, approaching ‘Love Is Dead,’ CHVRCHES were also keen for a shake-up. Their debut album ‘The Bones Of What You Believe’ was a flawless blend of super-shiny synth-pop and grittier foundations. Refreshing the indie landscape, an endless procession of lesser imitators followed in CHVRCHES’ wake. Their stadium-baying successor came from a similar sonic world – but if the debut was a small-town art cinema, ‘Every Open Eye’ was the gigantic IMAX 3D experience. To play an even larger version of their calling-card for a third time running would’ve been complacent, so it’s a relief to hear CHVRCHES finding a different voice and a saltier edge on ‘Love Is Dead’.
‘Love Is Dead’ manages to balance hopeful, utopian pop with a darker, gloomier undercurrent. Love may not be dead after all, but if you ask CHVRCHES, the onus is on all of us to try and keep it alive.
