CHVRCHES will return with a new 11-track album, All the King's Men, on January 22, 2027. The project marks the band's first major release since their 2023 break.
Why it matters
The upcoming record represents a shift in the band's collaborative process as they move away from remote production in favor of in-person studio sessions in Glasgow. This new approach was designed to push the group's creative boundaries after their long break from the music industry.
The album features 11 original tracks produced through intensive, in-person sessions. This release follows a six-year gap since the band issued their previous studio album.
