Recover EP is the debut EP by Scottish synth-pop band Chvrches.

It was released on 25 March 2013 in the UK via Goodbye and Virgin Records and 26 March 2013 in the US via Glassnote Records.[1] The song "Recover" was issued as the second single from their debut studio album The Bones of What You Believe and it reached number 91 in the UK Singles Chart.[2] This was the first time that a Chvrches single received notable attention on singles charts, as the band's first single, "The Mother We Share", would not begin to chart until its re-release in Autumn of 2013. The "Recover" single was also promoted by a music video.

Recover EP was released as digital download and as a limited edition 12" vinyl for Record Store Day 2013.[3][4] It was also re-released as a limited edition orange 12" vinyl for Record Store Day 2014.
