Chvrches have announced new album Every Open Eye, the follow-up to 2013's The Bones of What You Believe. The album was recorded at their Alucard Studios in Glasgow, and according to a listing on the Australian retailer Sanity, it's out September 25 via Universal.

In our feature "Keeping it Unreal: In the Studio With Chvrches", Lauren Mayberry discussed the album's themes:

Because the album was written over such a long period of time, it’s about the goods and the bads, the beginnings and ends. Personally, I’m in a good place right now, but there’s definitely anti-love songs on there as well. “Leave a Trace” is the middle finger mic-drop. It’s about that point where you’re like, “There’s no point having this conversation anyways: There will be no resolve, I won’t feel better about it, you won’t feel better about it, no outcome from this will actually change my reality.” It makes me feel better to write about that—I’ve done something constructive with it. You don’t put that on other people, you put that into what you do. That’s always the way I’ve written lyrics. My ex-partners are not friends with me, but I’m OK with that.

Every Open Eye:

01 Never Ending Circles
02 Leave a Trace
03 Keep You on My Side
04 Make Them Gold
05 Clearest Blue
06 High Enough to Carry You Over
07 Empty Threat
08 Down Side of Me
09 Playing Dead
10 Bury It
11 Afterglow
12 Get Away
13 Follow You
14 Bow Down

Yesterday, Chvrches announced Every Open Eye, the follow-up to 2013's The Bones of What You Believe. It's out September 25 via Universal. Today, they shared the lyric video for "Leave a Trace", which premiered on Annie Mac's BBC Radio 1 show. Check it out below.

Speaking about the song in our feature "Keeping it Unreal: In the Studio With Chvrches", singer Lauren Mayberry described it as “the nastiest, snidest tune” on the record. She added:
