CHVRCHES started out working from a rented basement flat at Alucard Studios in Glasgow with three synths, the Moog Voyager, the Prophet 08 and a Juno 106 along with some minimalist computer software and a basic vocal setup to self produce and record their highly successful 2013 debut album The Bones of What You Believe. Plenty of things have changed for Lauren Mayberry, Iain Cook and Martin Doherty in just a few short years and Sound on Sound magazine (October 2015) was there to learn about the production process of their highly anticipated sophomore album Every Open Eye.
Returning to the same studio space for Every Open Eye the band had the comforts of home, time to work on the new album at their own pace and invest in a whole new arsenal of electronic equipment for album number two. Expanding into two rooms with engineer David Simpson who worked on the technical aspects of the album the band left off right where they started, making beautiful music. While the Cook and Doherty would work on beats, parts of the songs and production in one room, Mayberry had the essential space in the other room to work on vocals all of which helped bring this album together so quickly.
A really interesting read about capturing imperfect beats, creating more with less and the new equipment they use. Click here to read the full cover story about CHVRCHES’ latest setup for the production of Every Open Eye.
