- Hey guys. It's 2:25 AM where I am and I hate sleep. That makes it a Sunday, so I figured I'd just go ahead and officially kick off our Weekly DJ program. The first album is The Bones of What You Believe, by CHVRCHES. I was originally going to go with RJD2's new album More Is Than Isn't, but that doesn't officially release until this Tuesday. Perhaps another week. In any case, I hope you enjoy the album and the discussion that comes with it. Major props to Esrever for the template, I definitely think it should be used from now on. So, without further ado...

BIO
Chvrches (pronounced as "churches", sometimes stylized as CHVRCHES or CHVRCHΞS) are a Scottish synthpop band from Glasgow, formed in 2011. The group consists of Lauren Mayberry (lead vocals, additional synthesizers and samplers), Iain Cook (synthesizers, guitar, bass, vocals), and Martin Doherty (synthesizers, samplers, vocals).
The Bones of What You Believe is Chvrches first studio album to be released, and capitalizes on its synthpop style. Lauren's voice, even at its most powerful, presents a certain delicacy and relatable tone that creates a familiar tone in the album's lyrics. Each song is catchy to a degree, and there's no trouble listening to the album from beginning to end without boredom creeping up on you.
