Chvrches’ Martin Doherty has launched a new project the Leaving with longtime unofficial Chvrches drummer Jonny Scott. Their first release is the anthemic new single ‘Saved’, which you can hear below.
“‘Saved’ is a look inside the mind of someone on the verge of mental collapse,” the duo explained in a statement. “Paranoia. Hypochondria. Agoraphobia.” They added:
The idea that people close to you are a destabilizing, debilitating influence. They are responsible for underhanded, Machiavellian behaviors towards you. Subtle but highly effective. They see a person on the edge and press the advantage. Make you question your sanity. Slyly, they push buttons in pursuit of capitulation, then step back and watch as you burst into (metaphorical) flames.
They enjoy the show. But is it all in your head?
Chvrches singer Lauren Mayberry released her debut solo album, Vicious Creature, last year.
