CHVRCHES video - Lies

Director Sing J. Lee sits behind the camera for the newest video from CHVRCHES debut LP The Bones Of What You Believe, with "Lies."

The surprisingly well-put together video follows several future-centric, reality distorting stories, seemingly about the nondescript aspects of love compared to its simpler reality.

New CHVRCHES video - Gun

The pathway for Glasgow group CHVRCHES becoming the next big indie pop group is being steadily paved. Shortly after the release of "Gun," the band debuted the colorful new video for the hit single from the upcoming debut album The Bones Of What You Believe. Check it out below and watch out for the album September 24.

New CHVRCHES - Gun

After last year's "The Mother We Share," and the early 2013 breakout single "Recover," Scottish trio CHVRCHES are clearly on the way to indie-pop stardom. The newest single from the group, "Gun," does nothing but support that claim, with sugary hooks and enchanting singing from frontwoman Lauren Mayberry. Check it out below, which will be featured on the group's debut full-length LP later this year.

New CHVRCHES video - Recover

In a description I probably never thought I'd say, check out the brand new sci-fi adventure fantasy video for CHVRCHES excellent single "Recover." I'll let the grand whatever of the video speak for itself, but don't forget to grab the Recover EP March 25 in the UK and 26 in the U.S. Pre-orders are available here.

Bears And Bullets Songs Of The Year (#50-#26)

Going in this year, I realized the previous year-end-list formatting was a bit limited. I opted for lengthy descriptions of the year's best songs, other than adding more. Looking at both, I opted to add more without the colorful paragraphs that follow. So as of today, here is the first edition of Bears and Bullets Top 50 Songs Of 2012 (part one):

New Chvrches - The Mother We Share

I think you can tell by the way the album cover looks that Chvrches probably use a lot of synths. It's a good guess, because they do, but there's genuine pop appeal for their new track "The Mother We Share." Check it out below.
