Chvrches’ lead singer, Lauren Mayberry, has announced the details of her first solo album: Vicious Creature is out December 6 via Island. The Scottish musician has also shared a new track, “Crocodile Tears.” Watch the song’s music video below; scroll down for Mayberry’s upcoming tour dates.
Mayberry went on her first solo tour last year, and then she began to release solo tracks: “Are You Awake?,” “Shame,” “Change Shapes,” and “Something in the Air,” all of which feature on Vicious Creature.
Mayberry worked on her new album with producers Greg Kurstin, Matthew Korma, Tobias Jesso Jr., Ethan Gruska, and Dan McDougall. “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,” Mayberry said in a statement. “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.”
