Best of 2013 #2: Chvrches - The Bones of What You Believe (Virgin)

Scottish band Chvrches (pronounced Churches) produced one of the most stunning debuts of the year, plus the best pure electronic albums this year. The band is just three years old, but their debut full length album displays a fully realized sound brimming with maturity. They have an unapologetically 80s synth-pop sound. Like quite a few bands I've loved in the past (Parallels, Crystal Castles) , this band has a solid retro electronic backing sound with a crisp female voice fronting the band. It'll be interesting to see if the sophomore curse hits this band.
