CHVRCHES have released “Overthinker,” the second preview of their forthcoming album All The King’s Men, due January 22 via Futures ✦. The band has also announced a 2027 tour across North America and the UK and Ireland, with tickets scheduled to go on sale October 30.
CHVRCHES have released “Overthinker,” the second preview of their forthcoming album All The King’s Men, due January 22 via Futures ✦. The Scottish trio’s new track shifts from the political focus of lead single “Roses” to family relationships, as vocalist Lauren Mayberry reflects on the contradictions of loving someone who can be both protective and difficult. The band has also announced a 2027 tour across North America, the UK and Ireland.
According to Consequence’s report, “Overthinker” is led by Mayberry’s vocals and built around driving synths and electronic textures. The accompanying lyric video uses a half-deflated bounce castle that repeatedly rises and collapses, an image that echoes the song’s tension between care and conflict. The new song follows “Roses,” which the report describes as addressing modern Britain.
All The King’s Men will contain 11 songs and is CHVRCHES’ first full-length album since 2021’s Screen Violence. The group—Mayberry, Iain Cook and Martin Doherty—recorded the new material in Glasgow, returning to in-person sessions after the more remote recording process for the previous album. The report says the sessions took place in intensive three-week blocks at Assumption Studios, a converted church where the trio also recently played an intimate charity show for 100 fans.
The announced tour starts February 13 in Philadelphia and continues across North America before reaching the UK and Ireland in April. The listed dates include shows in Brooklyn, Toronto, Chicago, Los Angeles, Glasgow, Dublin and London. Tickets are scheduled to go on sale Friday, October 30, at 10 a.m. local time through Ticketmaster, according to the report.
A New Album Era Takes Shape
“Overthinker” gives listeners a second indication of the range CHVRCHES is pursuing on All The King’s Men. The contrast between “Roses,” described as outward-looking, and the new track’s focus on family suggests the album’s subject matter will not be limited to one theme. The song’s release also puts the group’s return into a clearer schedule: a January album followed by a tour beginning the next month.
The comeback follows a pause that began after the band finished touring in 2023. With an 11-track record and a run of concerts across multiple regions announced, fans now have both new music to hear and live dates to plan around. The Glasgow recording sessions also mark a change from the remote approach associated with Screen Violence, offering a concrete detail about how the trio made its next album.

From Screen Violence to Glasgow Sessions
Screen Violence, released in 2021, was CHVRCHES’ previous full-length album. The band wrapped touring in 2023, beginning a pause before its return with the new record. For All The King’s Men, Mayberry, Cook and Doherty reconvened in Glasgow rather than relying on the remote process used for their last album.
Consequence reports that the upcoming record draws on British and Scottish influences, including Massive Attack, PJ Harvey, Nick Drake and Bert Jansch, while moving beyond the group’s initial synth-pop palette. Those reference points and the Glasgow recording location offer some background on the album’s making, but the report does not detail how each influence appears in the finished songs.
