Photo: Jody Evans Scottish pop trio Chvrches have signed with Futures Music Group and alongside that announcement have released their first single in three years, “Roses.” The group will play two shows in the U.K. next month, in London and their hometown of Glasgow; the release follows singer Lauren Mayberry’s solo album on Island last year.
Futures Music Group, founded by Derek Davies of Neon Gold and Dave Wallace of Avenue A, is an independent label collective separate from those companies with “transparent deal structures [and] integrated technology partnerships,” with deal structures designed to align incentives with artists, prioritizing long-term partnership and participation over traditional ownership models.” Founded in 2024, the collective’s roster includes Lykke Li, Mt. Joy, Cavetown, Phantogram, the Knocks and others.
