CHVRCHES Reveal New Rock-Tinged Song "Roses"

The band’s first new song in three years ushers in a new era, with ticket proceeds from two secret shows going to charity.

  • On Tuesday, Scottish synth-pop trio CHVRCHES released comeback single 'Roses,' their first new song in three years, and announced two intimate charity shows in Glasgow on October 26 and London on October 29.
  • Following a five-year hiatus since their acclaimed 2021 album Screen Violence, band members pursued individual projects. Vocalist Lauren Mayberry released solo album Vicious Creature in December 2024, while Martin Doherty formed The Leaving with Jonny Scott.
  • Mayberry delivers a 'scathing take' on contemporary Britain, with the track featuring darker, industrial-leaning rock sounds. The song interpolates the English folk song 'Ring a Ring o' Roses' in its chorus, shifting from their previous disco-pop direction.
  • Fans can enter a ballot to purchase tickets for the shows, with all proceeds benefiting charity. The group released 'Roses' via Futures Music Group, marking the start of this new creative era.
  • The group will return to North America in November to perform at Mexico City's Corona Capital. The band describes their new material as 'the most coherent vision we've had,' signaling a confident creative direction.
