Hrishikesh Hirway sat down with Martin Doherty, Lauren Mayberry and Iain Cook of CHVRCHES at SXSW this past March to break down their hit single “Clearest Blue” for the latest episode of the Song Exploder podcast. A very interesting discussion about CHVRCHES breaking their own rules to writing and how this song was put together piece by piece. Listen to parts of the original demo and how this song went from two simple chords to an all-out banger.
