Chvrches have shared ‘Talking in My Sleep’, a previously unheard track that will appear on the 10th-anniversary reissue of the group’s debut album, The Bones of What You Believe. Listen to it below.
“It feels quite strange that Bones is almost a decade old,” Lauren Mayberry said in a statement. “In some ways, it’s like it just happened, but also like that era was a lifetime ago. We are very grateful to all the fans who gave that album a special place in their heart, and still show us so much kindness today.”
“Some of the main sources of inspiration for our first album, including ‘Talking In My Sleep’ were artists that we all share a love for, and a lot of stuff from the 80s,” Iain Cook added. “Kate Bush (particularly the Hounds of Love album), Depeche Mode, Prince, Michael Jackson, and also a bunch of the blog-led indie pop music that was around in 2010. Martin particularly was really invested in that stuff and was bringing a lot of fresh sounds and ideas mixed with the classic 80’s pop influences that we all loved.”
The new edition of The Bones of What You Believe is out October 20. Chvrches previously unveiled another unheard song from the record called ‘Manhattan’.
