Aug 26, 2021‘Screen Violence’ marries visceral anger and empowerment. The result is their most euphoric rallying cry to date.
-
Aug 27, 2021The group’s fourth full-length is a timely mediation on loneliness and fear, thankfully shot through with a hefty dose of the synth-fueled wizardry that’s come to define the best of what the Scottish trio has to offer.
-
Aug 23, 2021Despite the daring newness, Screen Violence still feels unmistakably CHVRCHES, and one of their strongest records at that.
-
Aug 30, 2021Their formative years in the underground have always supplied this trio with a sharp and occasionally dark edge. It is an edge no more, but the defining feature of this pugilistic album.
-
Aug 27, 2021Screen Violence contains cathartic moments, anthems in the dark, and they approach them with tact and enthusiasm.
-
Aug 27, 2021While Screen Violence doesn’t quite meet the standards set early by the band, it’s still delightfully moody synth-pop that can be enjoyed equally whether on the dance floor or quietly contemplating the violence it depicts.
-
MojoAug 23, 2021When Robert Smith guests on the strident How Not to Drown it's a perfect retro storm. Yet the opening Asking For A Friend has a very 2021 clatter, while Violent Delights evokes a sugar-free Ellie Goulding. [Oct 2021, p.98]

Aug 27, 2021I thought that The Bones Of What You Believe was the best album from CHVRCHES, but Screen Violence changed the whole conversation.

Aug 28, 2021One of the best albums of 2021, the nuances are immaculate on every level of composition.

Oct 29, 2021Wish all the album was exactly like "He Said She Said". Such an amazing song. Not a bad whole album though.
