I realize I’m an outlier, but I’ve never been much of a fan of CHVRCHES, as I just don’t care for Lauren Mayberry’s voice. (I feel the same about the immensely popular Paramore). That said, I really like this song. I’m a huge fan of The Cure and Robert Smith, and the music and arrangement on “How Not to Drown” are fantastic. Lauren’s vocals sound better to me here as well.
