Your fave Scottish synth lords only just released their cathartic new album Love Is Dead, but they've already backed it up with a brand new single.

'Out Of My Head' is a collaboration with J-Pop icon Kom_I and the band she fronts, Wednesday Campanella, who - like Chvrches - consist of producers Kenmochi Hidefumi and Dir.F, with Kom_I on vocals and show-stealing duties.

The track bounces between Kom_I and Lauren Mayberry singing kinetic phrases in their native languages. It's a subtle twist on the Chvrches dynamic, but it works. Really well. Especially when matched with a spectacular anime video from creative pair Junichi Yamamoto and Yoshiki Imazu

“Japan has always been a really special place for Chvrches, and we were really excited to put together something special for our fans there," Lauren Mayberry says. "Kom_I has such a strong, individual voice in her music and how she conducts herself as a person — something that I really admire — and we were so lucky that she wanted to collaborate on this track."

The feeling is mutual, with Kom_I saying she was asked "to express my strong emotion and vent my anger to the song... I wrote this for giving a pep talk to myself who is being left half done. Kawasaki meets Glasgow, Kiyoshiro Imawano meets David Bowie, and Edamame meets Fish & Chips."

Earlier this year, Wednesday Campanella followed up their 2017 major label debut SUPERMAN with a new album, Galapagos. If you're keen to hear more, 'Ikkyu-san' and 'Melos' are good places to get started.

Chvrches have just played Fuji Rock Festival after departing Australia last week - in the country playing Splendour In The Grass and sideshows, and covering 'LOVE.' by fellow Splendour-billed act Kendrick Lamar, for Like A Version. Re-visit that below.
