There are few bands in the indie world right now with more Internet hype than CHVRCHES. Their synth-infused sound is all the rage in Pitchfork-influenced communities, and after the following cover they’ll certainly be on your radar as well.

While in the studio working on their recently released debut album, CHVRCHES recorded a few additional tracks to be used for promotional purposes. One of them, a cover of Whitney Houston‘s “It’s Not Right, But It’s Okay,” found its way online this morning.
