CHVRCHES don't want to stay still.
Fresh from the release of new album 'Love Is Dead' the band have gone into the studio once more, this time working with a few guests.
Japanese electro-pop group Wednesday Campanella work on new song 'Out Of My Head', a rich collaboration that seems to bring the best out of both parties.
Fluoro-soaked digital tones match an empowered, pleading vocal that urges: "When you figure it out… let me know!"
“I was asked by Lauren that I should express my strong emotion and vent my anger to the song,” says Kom_I of Wednesday Campanella. “I realised that I personally have little chance to feel the tears welling up with strong anger – probably because I recently turned 25 years old, and have been given warm support by many people around me. However, even though I have obtained freedom, the world is not yet changed and we can never have completely assured lives in this era.”
“So I wrote this for giving a pep talk to myself who is being left half done. Kawasaki meets Glasgow, Kiyoshiro Imawano meets David Bowie, and Edamame meets Fish & Chips.”
CHVRCHES have a close affinity towards Japanese pop culture, and the new single is seemingly "something special for our fans out there".
The band's Lauren Mayberry explains: “Japan has always been a really special place for CHVRCHES. And we were really excited to put together something special for our fans there. Kom_I has such a strong, individual voice in her music and how she conducts herself as a person — something that I really admire — and we were so lucky that she wanted to collaborate on this track.”
