CHVRCHES is a collision of two worlds that have orbited dangerously close to each other for quite awhile.

Though the Scottish electronic pop act has only released three tracks, comparisons to The Knife have been rampant. But on “Recover,” lead singer Lauren Mayberry’s vocals are a stark contrast to the distorted, ominous sound The Knife is known for.

Mayberry’s style is more similar to Ellie Goulding, another female artist fighting to break into the male-dominated electronic world. But where Goulding falls flat and uses dubstep as a crutch, CHVRCHES has found a niche for taking those Knife-like, gothic beats and layering pop vocals over them.

“Recover” is the best example of that finesse yet. CHVRCHES crafts fascinating, potent electronic pop that doesn’t compromise either of its derivative styles.
