CHVRCHES today announce the release of the 10 Year Anniversary Special Edition of their acclaimed debut album The Bones Of What You Believe, due 13th October via Universal Music Recordings. The Special Edition is available in 1xLP clear vinyl, 2xLP black vinyl with die cut sleeve, 2xCD and Digital formats. Available exclusively with the 2xLP format, the band will also release a 7” vinyl featuring 2 unheard demos of ‘The Mother We Share’.

A decade ago, CHVRCHES – Lauren Mayberry, Martin Doherty and Iain Cook – came out of nowhere to suddenly be everywhere. They piqued interest when posting their first song ‘Lies’ online in May 2012, before swiftly following it in the autumn with the song that went on to become their calling card and signature. ‘The Mother We Share’ – a euphoric, expertly-crafted piece of synthpop with a warm emotional centre – captured the imagination of millions of listeners and saw the band step out from the shadows to put faces to the names. Both tracks, alongside later singles ‘Recover’ and ‘Gun’, featured on The Bones of What You Believe, released in autumn 2013 to rapt reviews.

The album was produced by the band and recorded in Cook’s Alucard Studio in Glasgow, before being mixed by Rich Costey (Nine Inch Nails, Rage Against The Machine, Arctic Monkeys, Sigur Rós). The original album has been remastered for this Special Edition by Gavin Lurssen, who mastered the band’s most recent album Screen Violence. Alongside the original 12 tracks, there are four previously unheard songs and five live tracks, the latter recorded at Ancienne Belgique in 2013.

The announcement of the Special Edition is accompanied by the release of ‘Manhattan’, the first in a series of previously unheard songs recorded during the making of the album
