CHVRCHES Announce New Album All The King’s Men For January 2027 Release & 2027 Tour Dates

CHVRCHES have announced their new album All The King’s Men, which will be released on January 22, 2027 via Futures Music Group. The band, which is made up of members Lauren Mayberry, Iain Cook and Martin Doherty, took their pause in 2023 after touring their fourth album Screen Violence. All of the members agreed that when they returned, their next chapter had to challenge and excite them. The result is All The King’s Men, a self-consciously British freewheeling collection of 11 tracks of vividly emotional indie rock that fans won’t expect. In the intervening years all three members were consciously and unconsciously absorbing material for their return. On his frequent trips back to Scotland to spend time with his mother, Doherty had reconnected with gritty British cinema by auteurs like Shane Meadows and Ken Loach – not incidentally the ones who stare down the barrel of the UK’s worst social issues – and UK artists like Massive Attack, Souxsie & The Banshees, and PJ Harvey. Meanwhile, Mayberry leveled up as a lyricist and came looking to make music that showcases a fresh storytelling quality and vocal range. Cook, who remained in the band’s Scotland home base, started to reject electronics in favor of writing with acoustic instruments, and was listening to Nick Drake, Bert Jansch and Incredible String Band. The band met for multiple, intense three-week stints in Glasgow, forgoing the remote work of their last album. “Roses,” the first single off of the album, was released last month, with the song confronting the darker undercurrents of Britain. In one line, Mayberry sings, “Fill a glass with delusions of the good days / of blood and wine, of pearls for swine.” The song’s closing announcement, “If I may command your undivided attention, now we can start,” set the stage for what is to come with All The King’s Men. The band will also have an extensive run of shows across North America, the UK and Ireland starting in February.
