by Michael McCarthy Each year, I feel overwhelmed before writing a “best albums of” list. There are always so many releases that I’ve loved during any given year, it makes it very difficult to narrow them down to a reasonable number. (When I first listed my best from this year, it was 144 albums long.)…

“Nothing to regret / Nothing to prove,” goes CHVRCHES new single “Empty Threat,” a song which anyone who has bought their sophomore album Every Open Eye can tell you is brilliant.

I don’t think there was anyone on the planet who didn’t love CHVRCHES debut album, The Bones Of What You Believe. If there was, well, clearly they have bad taste. If there was one album from 2013 that was universally loved, it was that one. After all, it was electronic enough to please the electro-pop…

Of course, they had to release one of the songs with the guy singing eventually… Fortunately, it’s every bit as infectious as CHVRCHES other singles, hence our making it today’s #songoftheday. ‘Nuff said.

CHVRCHES recently put on Santa hats and performed for BBC Radio 1’s Live Lounge. They did a few of their songs, but they also did this interesting cover of a song called “Stay Another Day,” which was a 1994 single by a British boy band called East 17.
