Chvrches
This Glasgow boy-boy-girl trio are the UK’s brightest hope for synth music in 2013. Unapologetically ’80s beats drive things along, while singer Lauren Mayberry’s fragile-yet-striking vocals lift Chvrches’s songs into the higher realms of pop. It’s all as retro as fondue, but far less cheesy.
Key track: ‘The Mother We Share’.
