CHVRCHES have shared their take on Echo and the Bunnymen’s ‘The Killing Moon’ as an exclusive for Amazon’s DV8 playlist. Check out the Scottish trio’s cover of the 1984 track below.
“We all love Echo & The Bunnymen and had wanted to cover ‘The Killing Moon’ for a long time and jumped at the chance when Amazon Music gave us the opportunity,” Lauren Mayberry said in a statement. “Screen Violence, the new CHVRCHES album, is very much inspired by movies and ‘Killing Moon’ feels almost synonymous with Donnie Darko which is a film we all love.”
Screen Violence, which includes the previously released singles ‘Good Girls’, ‘He Said She Said’, and the Robert Smith collaboration ‘How Not To Drown’, is out August 20.
