Fresh off the completion of recording Every Open Eye band members Lauren Mayberry, Iain Cook and Martin Doherty took a few moments to reflect on the early days of the band including the misogyny Mayberry has been subjected to, the current state of music and the pressures of creating a follow up album to their smashing debut album The Bones of What You Believe in 2013. A few excerpts from this interview can be found directly below.
"All we were doing is being a band with a woman in the front, and if that's something that upsets people that much, I think that's a startling look at society." - Lauren Mayberry of CHVRCHES
"It's hard to truly understand pop these days, because it changes on a monthly basis. The Internet has changed everything." - Martin Doherty of CHVRCHES
"I don't think we would have been accepted by an indie audience 15 years ago." - Iain Cook of CHVRCHES
