St. Lucia - Before The Dive (CHVRCHES Remix)

One of our favorite artist's here at SYNTH, Glasgow synthpop group CHVRCHES, is back with a remix of St. Lucia's "Before The Dive." Combining the incredible vocals of one man show St. Lucia with their unique sound and some vocals of their own proves to be the perfect recipe for an incredibly upbeat track. We still anxiously anticipate the release of their debut EP Recover due out March 25th.

Also, check out another track from St. Lucia, "Closer Than This," which is an incredible track in it's own right.

CHVRCHES - Recover

Formed in 2011 in Glasgow, CHVRCHES is a synthpop band that has only a handful of songs to their name so far. Lauren Mayberry, formerly of Blue Sky Archives fame, provides vocals for the fledgling group. This small sample of their sound has caught attention and garnered praise from artists such as Passion Pit, Porter Robinson, and Pete Tong. The track we have here is a premiere single off their first EP due out March 25th. Both are titled "Recover." Mayberry's divine vocals backed by the incredibly upbeat pads, percussion, and keyboard work of her two bandmates combine to make an aural experience you simply need to hear. The song has the strong vocals necessary for a US radio hit but also the technicality EDM fans worldwide can appreciate. With acts like CHVRCHES emerging on the horizon, the future of music has never seemed so bright.

Also check out their previous single "The Mother We Share", which was heavily praised by Porter Robinson and featured on his BBC Radio 1 Essential Mix.
