Scotland’s best musical export this side of Mogwai, CHVRCHES, has one-upped their 2014 Triple J Like A Version of Arctic Monkeys‘ Do I Wanna Know?, taking to BBC Radio 1‘s Live Lounge, covering—and improving tenfold, tbh—Justin Bieber‘s What Do You Mean? overnight.
CHVRCHES’ promotional blitz aligns with the release of their sophomore record, Every Open Eye – available globally tomorrow. Beyond that, the band are set to hit our shores early next year on a string of dates with Laneway.
Projected through the powerful voice of Lauren Mayberry, the following work of pure lyrical genius ne’er were so palatable:
But you wanna say no
What do you mean?
Heeey When you don’t want me to move
But you tell me to go
What do you mean?
What do you mean?
