CHVRCHES have released their cover of The Postal Service's 'Such Great Heights', recorded for the season finale of Hulu's Tell Me Lies.
The track follows the band's cover of Robert Palmer's 'Addicted to Love', which was recorded for the show's season premiere last month.
Speaking to Billboard, Lauren Mayberry said: "I think having a genuine love for the show put me in a good position to know what I would want the pay off of that final scene to feel like, from a fan's perspective. The fact the college sections are set in 2008 and 2009 feels poignant to me. I was at university at that time too, and there was no dialogue around 'toxic' relationships in the way there is now. I was thinking about that and trying to bring that personal experience to my delivery when we recorded. I always liked the balance of joy and melancholy in the Postal Service's music... I did email Ben about it to make sure they wouldn't find it weird and so that he didn't think we were being creepy. He was characteristically lovely about it, of course."
Mayberry also confirmed the band are close to finishing their fifth album: "We are pretty close to finishing the new album, yes. We recorded these covers during the studio sessions for the record, actually. I don't want to give too much away too early but we all feel really good about what we're making. There's a fun and ferocity to it that feels new for us. I'm excited for people to hear it."
The cover comes ahead of the band's first gig since 2023, supporting My Bloody Valentine at the Royal Albert Hall for the Teenage Cancer Trust next month.
