Ahead of the 10th anniversary of CHVRCHES’s debut album The Bones of What You Believe this fall, lead vocalist Lauren Mayberry has announced via Instagram that she will be releasing music as a solo artist. She began the message by writing, “I met Iain and Martin when I was 23 — a little baby of a person, in hindsight. Looking back on what we’ve achieved together, so much of it doesn’t feel real or even possible. Thank you to every person who has been a part of that.

“I am so proud of all the chapters our band has been able to have and I am so grateful to my bandmates for taking me on that journey with them,” she continued. “We are all confident that the CHVRCHES story has many more pages yet to be written.”

She then shares the big reveal, saying, “For now, though, I am excited / terrified / bewildered to tell you that I have been working on my first ever solo music and will be able to start sharing it soon.” Check out the entire post here, and find her upcoming tour dates below.
