Releasing their fourth studio album, ‘Screen Violence’ earlier this year, Chvrches have decided to revisit the album once more to curate an expanded edition.
T-minus two days till Halloween, Chvrches’ ‘Screen Violence: Director’s Cut,’ has been released “as a thank you to fans for the phenomenal reception to ‘Screen Violence’,” press material reads.
With songs and vignettes like horror displaying the album’s thematic message of the terrors a life lived through screens can hold, Chvrches lead singer, Lauren Mayberry says the recent debut is only befitting.
“This album was thematically so different to previous Chvrches albums that it would have been rude of us to let Halloween come and go without injecting some more ‘Screen Violence’ into it. The new additions, “Killer,” “Bitter End” and “Screaming” were all started in 2020 and finished just after the album was released. As any good horror fan knows, just because the film ends, it doesn’t mean the story does.”
From 10 tracks to 13, ‘Screen Violence’ now appears complete and ready to once more be debuted to the world. Catch the Glasgow trio performing the extended edition of ‘Screen Violence’ on their North America tour this fall.
