Welcome to CHVRCHES Fan Podcast #14 for Saturday, Jan. 21, 2017. My name is Steve Holden and I'm recording this fan inspired podcast in Southern California near San Diego. You can send me feedback, input, comments, suggestions, etc. on this fan inspired podcast on Twitter @chvrchespodcast.

That intro song was Get Away by CHVRCHES from their 2nd album EOE but from the Special/Deluxe Edition Bonus Tracks version. It is the 12th song off the that album. From my count there are 8 EOE editions. The pure one with 11 tracks, Special/Deluxe Edition Bonus Tracks version with 14 tracks, a German Edition Bonus Track, a German limited deluxe edition bonus tracks, a Target exclusive edition bonus tracks, a Japanese edition bonus tracks, and a recently released Extended edition bonus tracks version. The song Get Away was also used by BBC Radio 1’s Zane Lowe in rescoring the 2011 Ryan Gosling film Drive’s soundtrack that was aired on BBC Three in October 30, 2014. As a big fan of the original soundtrack of Drive I can completely understand using Get Away in the new soundtrack for this broadcast. But I think this overall “redo” of the soundtrack was pretty unpopular and there is no official release of the full Zane Lowe version that I know of. Today’s podcast consists of the latest new news, a fan questions and answers session with Arsalan, and an interview that the band did in Australia from 2014. Also everything mentioned in this podcast that has a link will be at the show notes at www.chvrchespodcast.com​. Also you can subscribe to this podcast via iTunes, Google Play Music, and SoundCloud. Links are on the podcast website. You can also listen to all the podcasts via any browser via chvrchespodcast.com. I have gotten several of the earliest podcasts up on YouTube.

So let’s get to the new items that folks might not be aware of. There isn’t a lot of breaking news so some of this might be a stretch to call news updates. 1. The fragrance company Marc Jacobs introduced their Daisy Dream fragrance back in May 2016 with a commercial using Chvrches song The Mother We Share. This was recently re-shared by Lauren Mayberry Fans and was new news to me so this is why I’m mentioning it now. ​https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CgDFdhQYgkk

2. A site called TrailerWatch posted a pointer on Jan 14, 2017 to an interview the band did in San Francisco after recently touring Pixar Studios. I think the visit to Pixar was in the Fall of 2015. a. http://trailerwatch.xyz/2017/01/14/chvrches-talk-pixar-movies-music-more-with-b-side s-on-air/ b. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gVdRsV-DNvc 3. Matt Raybin over on his The Anchor Point blog posted on January 5, 2017 his review of the CHVRCHES album Every Open Eye. I think Matt does a good job summing up his thoughts on

each song and how the band is positioned as a leader in the alternative music genre. His take is genuine and you can tell he's a big fan of the band and their music. He is however wrong that the worst song on the album is Make Them Gold. But I do agree that trying to pick a worst song is pretty hard to do and I’m not even going to try. a. https://mraybin2014.wordpress.com/2017/01/05/chvrches-every-open-eye-album-revi ew/ 4. Over on Reddit is a Every Open Eye Song Ranking poll. It might be closed by the time you hear this but you can check out the link to see the outcome. The comments on the original post are pretty interesting. Once the poll is done I’ll report back the results in the next podcast. a. https://www.reddit.com/r/chvrches/comments/5nxhth/every_open_eye_song_ranking_ vote_now/ Also check out the show notes for links to more info on: ● Both @McKelvie and @chvrches mentioned in this article "Sweet Gigs --Best Band Posters by Comic Artists Ever" ​http://comicsalliance.com/best-band-posters-comic-artists/

● CACHIVACHES released an CHVRCHES - Recover (Instrumental) to YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q32z7YcMqho

● Arden Taylor Meissner who is studying orchestration has released on SoundClound a version of Chvrches - Lies (Orchestral) http://vi-control.net/community/threads/first-mockup-chvrches-lies-for-orchestra.58940/ ● The site “the interns” reported on 10Jan17 that the band Anna Of The North have a new single called Oslo. The author of the article Harrison Keffort compares their use of synths and vocals to CHVRCHES, so it might be interesting for folks to listen to. ○ http://theinterns.net/2017/01/10/anna-north-kickstart-2017-sharing-dreamy-new-singl e-oslo/ ○ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zsGw39dq7t4 If you have any news you find or want to share then let me know on twitter @chvrchespodcast or send me email at [email protected]. FAN Q&A

SONG - CHVRCHES - "By The Throat” ● https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Bones_of_What_You_Believe ● http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/chvrches/bythethroat.html

That short song segment was “​By The Throat​” that was the 11th song from CHVRCHES first album “​The Bones of What You Believe” that was released officially on 20 September 2013. I really like the structure of the song and the focus on the background lyrics around “you know, you know, you know, you know that you go too far” using Martin’s voice and Lauren singing the melody parts and the chorus. In case you didn’t know this the ​“​The Bones of What You Believe” was certified GOLD by the British Phonographic Industry on 19 Dec. 2014. Basically only 3 months after released.

So ... today’s fan interview is with Arsalan who is (@AM_Machina on Twitter). This interview was done with me sending Arsalan the questions and he providing me back the answers. I really appreciate his willingness to share his thoughts with other fans. We start off the Q&A with Arsalan introducing himself: > CHVRCHES songs mentioned during the Q&A: ● Clearest Blue (Q1, Q3) ● Warning Call (Q1) ● Lies (Q1) ● Downside of Me (Q2) ● Make Them Gold (Q4) ● Gun (Q4) ● Recover (Q6) ● Zvvl (Q6) ● KEXP Concert - ​https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ipE-tnRh4fE Thank you to Arsalan to doing this podcast’s Q&A. Good luck on getting your show in Montreal. I really appreciate all your answers, perspectives, and thoughts. And I’m honored to call you my friend. I totally agree that this community of fans is awesome and of course Chvrches are awesome. Because you know everything is awesome to quote Emmet. BAND INTERVIEW

Today’s band interview is from 2014 when they were at Splendour In The Grass in Australia. It is a pretty cool relaxed interview with Marty Smiley of [V] Hits. > ● https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Et1uQDP8lP0

● https://www.foxtel.com.au/vhits/index.html I like the review in the interview of some of their travels related to the 1st album. I think it is interesting how the band is sort of surprised that people like their music so far from their home country of Scotland. I’m pretty sure they now know they are a global band loved all over the planet. The part at the end about how they do stretching and vocal warm ups was also interesting to me as they mention that they do fist bump before every show. I actually got to see the fist bump at their show at The Fonda in Hollywood in December 2015 because they did the first song and then Lauren admitted that they forgot to do the fist bump at the end of the first song, and then the three of them did the fist bump on stage before the 2nd song. IT’S A WRAP - CLOSING

So we have reached the end of the today’s podcast content. Thank you all for the very kind feedback I continue to get via Twitter @chvrchespodcast and via email [email protected]​. related to the Fan Q&As I really enjoyed recording and editing those interviews. They are however taking a lot of work. I may have to change up the overall flow of the show in the future - maybe one show news and a band interview, and the next podcast just a fan interview. Let me know what you think of this option. Don’t forget that everything mentioned in this podcast that has a link will be at the show notes at www.chvrchespodcast.com​ and the website also has links to subscribe to the podcast via iTunes, Google Play Music, and SoundCloud. We are going to end the podcast with our tradition of playing a recommended song that fits into the very broad genre of “80s retro synth”. Today’s song is Sleepwalk from the album Vienna from the band Ultravox that originally formed under the band name of Tiger Lily. The song Sleepwalk was the 1st single released from their 4th album Vienna. The album Vienna was released on July 11, 1980. The album Vienna had 4 singles, including the song Vienna that made it to #2 in the UK in Jan. 1981. Sleepwalk made it to #29 in June 1980, and was the 5th song on the Vienna album released in the UK but the 1st song on the US release. My CD copy is a UK import so it is track 5 in my collection. The wikipedia page is a pretty interesting read and highly recommended if you want to geek out on Ultravox history. I especially like the info about the early years when they had a lot of different band names, with many band members, and worked with many interesting people including Brian Eno. Links will be in the show notes so check them out. ● https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultravox ● https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sleepwalk_(song)
