Chvrches Robert Smith – How Not to Drown
The unstintingly boppy Chvrches take a darker turn while paying due deference to goth godfather Robert Smith in this near wholesale homage to the Cure from their forthcoming fourth album. Over the past year I’ve spent a lot of time mooning to music in my bedroom, just as I did as a sullen teen, and this song brings me right back there, with hints of Garbage, the Cranberries and Duran Duran’s Come Undone.
A driving piano and synth beats cushion singer Lauren Mayberry’s melancholic entreaties, while Smith’s amazingly preserved voice comes through as clearly as it did some 30 years ago with The Cure’s masterpiece Disintegration, which Chvrches have cited as a major influence. (However, Smith should heed the song’s own advice, as Mayberry’s childlike voice drowns him out a bit on the chorus.) Keep your hot girl summer – it’s sad boi season all the way for me.
