Glasgow's Chvrches score a hit with debvt albvm
Scratch beneath the surface just a little and Chvrches' electro-pop becomes something of real substance. The Glasgow trio's songs, which recall that genre's golden era in the 1980s reimagined through meticulously modern production, initially appear throwaway in the truest sense but later reveal themselves as multi-layered pop at its most colorful. Lauren Mayberry's vocals, complementing the synthesized sounds of Martin Doherty and Iain Cook, are honeyed and innocently delivered yet belie the dark and uncompromising nature of the words she sings: 21st-century chart music seldom deals in such cloaked miserablism as "I'm in misery where you can seem as old as your omens" or is as ambiguously menacing as "I'll be a thorn in your side till you die."

Cook Islands paradise isn't plain sailing for all
They span an area the size of western Europe, but the Cook Islands may seem like the ends of the Earth when viewed from Japan — an 11-hour flight away south to New Zealand, followed by a four-hour "local hop" to the capital, Avarua, on the main island of Rarotonga.

A Pacific idyll where some go to escape, others to connect
A woman from western Japan, who calls herself "Amy," couldn't find paradise in Thailand, Cuba, Brazil or French Polynesia, so with the last of her $300 savings she bought a one-way ticket from Tahiti to Rarotonga. Then, claiming to be penniless, she walked from the airport to the police station and asked them to shelter her.
