Chvrches' 'Leave a Trace' Is Smoke and Mirrors with an '80s Twist
EntertainmentChvrches has released the video for “Leave a Trace,” the second single from their upcoming album, Every Open Eye (out September 25).
Like with “Never Ending Circles,” released last week, “Leave a Trace” feels heavily inspired by the new wave, electronic and art pop movements of the 1980s. There’s heavy synth and a grimy undercurrent that to the new song that coveys a satisfying and rich darkness (whereas “Never Ending Circles”—satisfying in its own way—felt more whimsical and Kate Bush-esque).
