Song of the Week


The Mother We Share
The Glasgow band CHVRCHES delivers immediate keyboard-based pop music.  With a slew of recently released singles, they expect to release an EP and an album sometime this year.  It doesn't hurt that The D Man has a major musical crush on vocalist Lauren Mayberry.  Not only does she have a law degree and a masters in journalism, but she infuses her lyrics with a gravity that surpasses the fact that she is quite pretty.  Given her prominence, someone said the band is like M83 meeting Taylor Swift.  Though this may be a decent shorthand to describe their first few singles, it probably undersells CHVRCHES unique capabilities.

Enjoy this live performance of "The Mother We Share."
