Will You Be My Comfort

Chvrches “Recover”

Am I just going to love every song that vaguely reminds me of The Knife’s “Heartbeats” for the rest of my life? I mean, probably, at least until it starts getting stale. It’s interesting, though – my most favorite aspects of that song never seem to get exported, only just that sparkling arpeggiation and general starry-eyed love-struck tone. I don’t think “Recover” is quite on the same level as Ellie Goulding’s phenomenal “Anything Could Happen” in the faux-Knife stakes, but it’s got a very different character, and is more conventional than either Goulding or The Knife. But that’s not a bad word – I like that “Recover” is so straight forward and generous with its melodies, and love the disarming earnestness of Lauren Mayberry’s voice.
