Chvrches

"Falling" (HAIM cover)

BY Gregory AdamsPublished Jul 9, 2013

Hyped UK electro-pop trio Chvrches have side-stepped the promotional effort behind their anticipated solo debut The Bones of What You Believe to rep fellow buzz band HAIM with a cover of the latter's "Falling" single.

The tribute was performed on BBC Radio 1's Live Lounge Late, and Chvrches stay relatively true to the original. Missing are the sister trio's familial vocal harmonies, but the chipper boy-girl angle works just as well. Additionally, the BPM gets bumped up a bit, and Chvrches' live set-up axes any guitar flourishes and brings the synths to the forefront.

As previously reported, The Bones of What You Believe arrives in North America September 24 via Glassnote and a day earlier in the UK through Virgin/Goodbye. Chvrches tour Europe and Asia this summer but also have North American dates lined up from September through to December.
