CHVRCHES - Recover

It's true, sometimes itunes does give you some great free music on Tuesdays.  A few weeks ago, the catch of the week came from CHVRCHES.  The Scottish three-piece is a group that I'm very glad to have encountered, because they sound like a sugary, less-club version of Dragonette.  Gah, I'm in heaven.  "Recover" is my weapon of choice, and it sounds like something like a hymnal in a stained-glass church mixed with sharp electric David Bowie-esque synths.  It's a lot to take in at first, sure, but it's heavenly.  Lead Lauren Mayberry is angelic, and Iain Cook and Martin Doherty on the instruments compliment her voice to a T.  "Recover" is beautiful and overwhelming, and hell, you're going to need a moment to recover after this one.
