Albeit a controversial decision for Radio 1 to rework the, already exceptional, Drive soundtrack, roping in Glaswegian synth-pop trio, CHVRCHES, certainly wasn’t a bad move. Their chintzy trademark sound was pretty much made for the 80’s reminiscent soundtrack and ‘Get Away’ provides yet another dosage of angelic vocals from Lauren Mayberry and even more infectiously nostalgic synth.
The track beholds the same dance-floor-worthy charm as most of the band’s previous material but the instrumental remains dark in terms of atmosphere; perfectly fitting for the cult favourite action flick in question. The affecting chorus, accompanied by a catchy recurring background vocal makes for one of their most memorable singles to date. It will certainly be interesting to see which scene ‘Get Away’ makes an appearance in.
Drive and its new score, featuring the likes of Foals, The 1975 and SBTRKT, will air on BBC 3 on Thursday, October 30th at 10 p.m.
