An excellent interview by Jana Roose captures Lauren’s background in journalism and music. Interesting topics of discussion include the writing process for CHVRCHES’ second album Every Open Eye, the development of her stage performances, things thrown on stage, pranking their tour manager and the bravery she displays by standing up to the online misogyny she faces daily. The stunning photos for this cover story were taken by Danny Clinch.
“I’m definitely aware that there are a lot of young girls and young boys who follow our band, and the amount of young girls who’ve said that that makes them feel better about stuff that happens to them, and the amount of young dudes who’ve said, ‘I didn’t know that stuff happened to that extent,’ if you can do anything that starts people talking about something then I think that’s positive.” – Lauren Mayberry
