Mar 28, 2013Stop what you’re doing and get this EP, and keep going.
-
Mar 27, 2013Expectations are high, sure, but the group has reassured their true believers with a solid cornerstone of an EP.
-
Mar 25, 2013Chvrches are effortless and close to svblime.
-
Mar 25, 2013They're still honing the edge that's going to set them apart. But for the time being, the hooks are enough to convert plenty of true believers.
-
Apr 8, 2013Overall, the Recover EP is a perfect stepping stone in Chvrches’ brick road.
-
Mar 26, 2013[Title track "Recover" is] so freakishly great, there’s no way Chvrches can follow it--at least not on this EP.
-
Mar 27, 2013The trio’s past experiences may explain how it manages to exercise a seasoned talent for both variety and control.... The two “Recover” remixes, by Austria’s Cid Rim and U.K.-based Curxes, are filler. They’re pleasant on their own, but neither can hold up to the original.

Mar 25, 2013The band turns more toward heartfelt pop. [Mar-Apr 2013, p.103]
-
Mar 25, 2013Chvrches makes prickly early-’80s synth-pop that recalls fellow revivalists Robyn and La Roux.
