The Glasgow native synth-pop group CHVRCHES dominated 2013 with their debut album The Bones of What You Believe. Their refreshing take on pop music was a welcome change of pace, and now they're gearing up to release their second studio album Every Open Eye in September.

The lead single from the album is 'Leave a Trace'. The song is about that time in a relationship where you know there will be no resolve. You know you have to walk away from the situation and leave everything behind.

With this new album, the group is resolving to use less instrumentation but to use the instruments more effectively. The song is just as anthemic and atmospheric as their previous work, but there's a newfound maturity and power in their work. I'm excited to see where this album takes us.

CHVRCHES's second studio album, Every Open Eye, will be released on September 25th.
