Chvrches

Chvrches landed on Scene’s top 10 albums of 2013, so we’re pretty excited that the Scottish electronic band is posting up in Cleveland for the night. The Bones of What You Believe grabbed due attention last year. It's sugary sweet, but that's largely the point. And despite the electronic looping, it doesn't fall into the traps of repetitiveness. Each song carves its own path into the face of the album (compare/contrast "Gun" and "Lies," two of the more alluring songs on the album). It's a robust collection of pop tunes, etched with precision for these very trying times. Oh, and Lauren Mayberry's voice is just fantastic at every turn of the melody. Onstage? The trio crushes live sets, as many will attest. Watch out for that hot, hot energy. (Sandy)
