Electric pop group CHVRCHES have announced North American tour dates to their already extensive tour ahead of their new album, Love Is Dead set to be released May 25th. This is the first album from the group in three years, following 2015’s Every Open Eye. Singer Lauren Mayberry describes the album as a “coming to terms with the fact that there are great things in the world and there are awful things in the world and that you can’t get one without the other.” In press release, the tour will be the first time the band will use a live drummer. The trio also worked with producer Greg Kurstin on the new album. Kurstin has produced for Adele, Sia, Foo Fighters, and Liam Gallagher. Four songs have been released so far from the new album, with the most recent song being the Steve Mac produced “Miracle,” which has been described as “pop-euphoria.” Check out the res of the album tracklist below:
