Reissue: CHVRCHES - Clearest Blue

<p>I interviewed the Scottish band CHVRCHES back in March 2016, in Austin, Texas. A few weeks ago, in May 2018, they released a new album called <em>Love is Dead</em>. It features contributions from David Stewart of the Eurythmics, and another past Song Exploder guest, Matt Berninger of The National. So in honor of CHVRCHES new record, I wanted to go back and listen to their episode again. Here it is:</p> <p>CHVRCHES is a trio from Glasgow, Scotland. In this episode, they break down the song “Clearest Blue,” from their sophomore album <em>Every Open Eye</em>. You’ll hear the band’s original demo as well as why they start songs with a set of rules, but then quickly abandon those rules.</p> <p>This interview was recorded live at the Dropbox Podcast Studio at SXSW.</p> <p><a href="http://songexploder.net/chvrches" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">songexploder.net/chvrches</a></p>
