Earlier this month, Chvrches teamed up with legendary horror film director John Carpenter for a series of remixes of tracks from ‘Screen Violence’.

Discussing the project, Lauren Mayberry said: “As horror fans, we know that John Carpenter is the godfather and the gold standard so we’re so excited to get to work with him in any capacity.”

‘Screen Violence’ drops on August 27 via EMI Records (UK) and Glassnote (US). So far, it’s been previewed by the tracks ‘How Not To Drown’ featuring Robert Smith of The Cure, April’s lead single ‘He Said She Said’ and latest track ‘Good Girls’.
