If you're willing to accept permanent hearing damage just because you don't want to be teased then by all means go ahead, I would strongly advise against it but it's your choice at the end of the day. Who are the people who tease you? I was having way more fun at the show with hearing protection than the people without it, everyone around me was sitting still and recording with their phones like zombies. I could care less what those people think of me while I'm at a show for a band I love. On the topic of hearing loss, I listen to 1000+ hours of music per year and I'd like to keep doing so as I get older without having impaired hearing. Shows are very fun but the music quality is never as good as through a nice pair of speakers or headphones at safe listening volumes. Our ears aren't meant to hear things at concert volumes and there are tons of great hearing plugs made for concerts.
According to Lauren in the latest TYCI podcast she says that she will be done with the studio work by the next podcast.
So, it sound like the album should be done within the next few weeks! (podcast is monthly)
I've cleaned up the audio a little bit, I'm no miracle worker, but its an improvement.

Edit: Someone uploaded a new recording, its a bit cleaner. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PeoUjsjUf4E
It's available for pre-order on some websites already. Not sure where you're located but Amazon seems to have the best price from what we have seen so far.
​
Amazon UK has it as well: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Hansa-Session-EP-10-Chvrches/dp/B07J368VL3/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1541959590&sr=8-1&keywords=hansa+session+chvrches
The nice thing about Amazon is you can usually just change .com to whatever your local site is in the URL to get the same product on your regional site. I did that to find it on Amazon Canada last night.
Bit late with this as they're already halfway through the set, but the player lets you rewind and watch from the start. You'll need a proxy if you're not from the UK, I'm using mediahint.
This is my collection. It is absolutely tiny since I'm kind of young and have only been buying music for around a year and a half or so, but it's all I've got so far. I also ordered the EOE: Extended Edition with this order but it is yet to be shipped since they are currently out of stock and are waiting for more.
Not trying to be a creep (lol), but I noticed in your collection that you have some releases by Courtney Barnett! You're very lucky to have the limited edition Orange pressing of Sometimes I Sit... it can be hard to find a good, mint copy of it at a decent price.
Edit: I just realised that the Courtney Barnett vinyl I was talking about isn't actually the one you have, it's this one which has the hidden track which is also on the CD and came with the Pedestrian at Best 7". That one is the one that's really hard to find anywhere, and the Pedestrian at Best 7" is just really rare as well, limited to around 300 copies.
Cool. At least things are semi-consistent. I think I need that We Sink RSD as well. In fact, I just got it off eBay
Here's my current Collection. https://www.discogs.com/user/grezymeal/collection?search=Chvrches
I preordered mine thru Amazon and it’s currently in stock if you’re still looking for it. Here ya go Chvrches 7” LP - Amazon
Lauren just blew me away with her performance on Cry Little Sister. Absolutely stunning!
This song is not available in lossless format (FLAC or WAV) for download or CD purchase. Can someone with Amazon HD Music verify the Nightbooks soundtrack is there to stream in CD quality? I have an idea.

This was a really good performance! First time I've seen them play with the live drums, works! For anyone UK based, full show is on iplayer
I got confused, there’s a concert in NYC from 2015 that, apparently, is available through Amazon Prime Video, but not here in Brazil (I was able to download it a million years ago, anyway).
CHVRCHES: Live in Concert | Prime Video
Don’t know if these Twitch broadcasts have replays, but I’ve found the like for Friday’s concert and also couldn’t see it.
Anyone who pokes fun at you for wearing hearing protection is either misinformed or an asshole, and likely both. Seriously, wearing hearing protection makes the concert better, since your eardrums aren't tensed up constantly from the volume. Literally 15 minutes at a "painful" level of sound causes permanent hearing damage, so wearing earplugs is just about the best thing you can do for yourself at a concert. If you've got the money, grabbing a pair of high-fidelity earplugs from Amazon is what I'd recommend, but the foamies they have at the concessions stand at most concert venues (a lot of venues in the US actually give them out for free if you ask) are just fine, so long as you put them in correctly. They should have directions on the packaging, but here's how just in case.
Are you from the USA? If so, I've managed to find Amazon's MP3 version: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07N98Y9NZ/ref=dm_rogue_digital. Can't test if it works though since I'm from the UK.
​
It's weird because Amazon UK lists the MP3 version as an option with the CD, whereas I had to click a quite small link below the options with the US site.
the versions you want are the Japanese release or the Asian deluxe, as they are the only ones with both tracks on the physical disc.
you can order it from Amazon Japan: https://www.amazon.co.jp/dp/B00E7FSO7A
Looks almost exactly like this from Vicks, right down to the little wingy bits at the bottom of the transparent part.
