Chvrches, "Never Ending Circles"

I’ve been trying to avoid the onslaught of hype about the new Chvrches album because I am definitively at the point in my life where reading the same story in six different outlets about anything, let alone something I know to be okay, turns me against it even before I can start to sour on my own. Also, the less I am reminded about that fucking “V” in their name the better. And no, telling me they only did it to make the band more Googleable doesn’t help. Why would you think that would help? It’s actually so much worse! It is as stark and concrete a reminder of just how stupid and awful our world is now that you can get. I’m always about to be all, Ugh, you know what, fuck Chvrches, but then there’s the music, and at least for a moment my fury subsides. You, whose fury is nowhere near mine, will have an even easier path to enjoyment, so enjoy.
