Chvrches Announce First Album in Six Years and 2027 Tour

Scottish synth-pop trio Chvrches are making a significant comeback with the announcement of their fourth studio album, All The King’s Men, set for release on January 22, 2027 through Futures Music Group. This marks their first full-length project since 2021’s Screen Violence, signaling a fresh chapter after a period dedicated to reflection and creative recalibration.

The band — composed of Lauren Mayberry, Iain Cook, and Martin Doherty — took a deliberate pause following their last album cycle to explore new artistic directions. Their latest work comprises 11 tracks that draw from a diverse palette of influences, including elements reminiscent of Massive Attack’s atmospheric textures and the introspective songwriting styles of artists like PJ Harvey and Nick Drake. This blend positions All The King’s Men as an indie rock-oriented endeavor with nuanced sonic layers.

Leading the album rollout was the single “Roses,” released in late 2026, which offers listeners a preview of the band’s evolved sound. The track has been noted for its rich instrumentation and thoughtful lyricism, underscoring Chvrches’ continued commitment to crafting emotionally resonant music.

Following the album’s release, Chvrches have outlined an extensive touring schedule spanning multiple regions. Beginning February 13, 2027, the trio will hit stages across the United States and Canada, with stops in major cities such as Philadelphia, Brooklyn, Washington, Toronto, Chicago, and Seattle, among others. This North American leg extends through late March.

In April and May, the tour moves to the UK and Ireland, including performances in Glasgow, Aberdeen, Dundee, Dublin, Manchester, Birmingham, Bristol, Norwich, and London. The itinerary reflects the band’s strong connection to their Scottish roots as well as their international fanbase.

All The King’s Men’s tracklist features songs titled “Evil,” “Adore You,” “Overthinker,” and “Faith in Flying,” among others. These titles suggest thematic explorations that may delve into complex emotional landscapes and personal narratives, consistent with the band’s established lyrical approach.

Chvrches’ return is particularly noteworthy given the six-year gap since their last album of new material, highlighting a period of growth and artistic reinvention. Fans and critics alike will be watching closely to see how the band’s sound has developed and how their live performances will interpret the new material.

This announcement follows the band’s sustained presence in the music scene, with their debut album The Bones of What You Believe recognized among the decade’s standout releases by outlets like Pitchfork. The upcoming album and tour underscore Chvrches’ ongoing relevance and their ability to resonate with audiences through evolving sonic landscapes.

Further details about the album’s production and the thematic concepts remain limited at this time, but the scheduled tour promises ample opportunities for audiences to experience the new work firsthand. As the release date approaches, additional insights into All The King’s Men and its place within Chvrches’ discography are anticipated.
