Chvrches recruited the National's Matt Berninger for the bittersweet new single "My Enemy." The indie rocker lends his distinctive baritone to the electro-pop track, trading heartbroken lines with Chvrches vocalist Lauren Mayberry. "I got no more time to hear who you think we should blame/ Because all your words are so vile, so vicious, so vain," he sings over airy synths. "In the end, we did all the damage that you could want, want/ But the emptiness will go on and on."
"My Enemy" will appear on Chvrches' third LP, Love Is Dead, out May 25th via Glassnote. Mayberry praised Berninger's work in a statement about the single, telling Beats 1 that the band is "huge fans of the National and have been for a long time" and got to know them through their work on the 7 Inches For Planned Parenthood project. They stayed in touch with Berninger and reached out after constructing "My Enemy" as a duet.
