CHVRCHES’ Lauren Mayberry has announced her debut solo album, ‘Vicious Creature’

Lauren Mayberry has announced her debut solo album ‘Vicious Creature’ alongside the release of a new track, ‘Crocodile Tears’.

The Dork cover star has teamed up with producers Greg Kurstin, Matthew Korma, Tobias Jesso Jr., Ethan Gruska and Dan McDougall for the record, which explores themes of sexuality and empowerment.

“So much of this process has been an exercise in empowering myself to listen to my own intuition – something I really trained myself out of,” she says. “That’s ultimately why you start making things – because you felt a feeling, and you wanted to articulate that somehow. I think it was important for me to relearn that kind of independence, and recognize what I bring to any table I choose to sit at.”

The new track ‘Crocodile Tears’ follows previous singles ‘Something in the Air’, ‘Shame’, ‘Change Shapes’ and ‘Are You Awake’, with the full album due on 6th December via Island Records.

The full tracklisting for ‘Vicious Creature’ is as follows:

1. Something in the Air
2. Crocodile Tears
3. Shame
4. Anywhere But Dancing
5. Punch Drunk
6. Oh, Mother
7. Sorry, Etc
8. Change Shapes
9. Mantra
10. A Work of Fiction
11. Sunday Best
12. Are You Awake
