In the short time span following the release of their debut album The Bones of What You Believe, CHVRCHES has become notorious for their massive covers of pop songs. Whether they cover Justin Timberlake, Lorde, Whitney Houston or even ZHU, the band lifts familiar melodies into their lush, synthesized landscape and it has consistently proven to be a formula for success.
This morning, the Scottish trio stopped by BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge in promotion of their forthcoming sophomore LP Every Open Eye and blessed us with an urgent, anthemic cover of Justin Bieber’s new single “What Do You Mean.” Just in case you were finally starting to get the song out of your head, CHVRCHES is here to make sure you won’t soon forget it.
