CHVRCHES' Martin Doherty and Jonny Scott have joined forces for a new musical project titled The Leaving.
The act will unveil music via Avenue A Records/Futures with their debut single “Saved” available right now. The Leaving said this about the new single, which can be heard here:
““Saved” is a look inside the mind of someone on the verge of mental collapse. Paranoia. Hypochondria. Agoraphobia.
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?”
More music from The Leaving will be released soon. CHVRCHES recently appeared in the video game Death Stranding 2: On the Beach as preppers for the We Love Animals organization. The game’s soundtrack includes two songs from the group: “Nightmares” and their ending theme from the first Death Stranding game.
