CHVRCHES‘ Lauren Mayberry has announced her debut solo album, Vicious Creature, which will be out December 6 via Island Records. For it she collaborated with Greg Kurstin, Matthew Korma, Tobias Jesso Jr., Ethan Gruska and Dan McDougall.
“So much of this process has been an exercise in empowering myself to listen to my own intuition – something I really trained myself out of,” Mayberry says. “That’s ultimately why you start making things – because you felt a feeling, and you wanted to articulate that somehow. I think it was important for me to relearn that kind of independence, and recognize what I bring to any table I choose to sit at.”
Vicious Creatures includes previously released songs “Something in the Air,” “Shame,” “Change Shapes” and “Are You Awake,” and she’s just shared new single “Crocodile Tears” which was co-written with and produced by Matthew Korma and Ethan Gruska who also produced. You can watch the video for it below.
Lauren will also be on tour in early 2025 and the NYC stop is Webster Hall on February 13. Tickets go on sale Friday, November 1 at 10 AM local time and all dates, including current UK/EU shows with London Grammar, are listed below.
