My name is Steve Holden and I am recording this podcast in Southern California near San Diego. Today’s podcast is about covering the latest news since the last podcast and it will include a full rundown of all the announced concerts as of the recording of this podcast. That intro song sample started out with the song Get Out via my Google Play Music “Love Is Dead (version 0.9)” playlist and then I looped in a version of Get Out called the Roosevelt Remix which was released on March 23, 2018 along with another remix called the One Bit Remix (which we will hear later). These remixes were part of the news that Chvrches released the STEMS for Get Out so that the song could be remixed by other artists. If you go to YouTube and search on CHVRCHES Get Out you will get a good number of other remixes and mashups with other songs like “I want to get better” by The Bleachers. The show notes also has a link to more information about STEMS: ● https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stem_mixing_and_mastering ● https://www.reddit.com/r/Stems/comments/86kz65/chvrches_get_out_official_stems_released_remixes/ FAN QUESTION The last CHVRCHES fan question that we posted on our Facebook Fan Page was “What CHVRCHES song does Lauren describe as a ‘Palate Cleanser’?” Rollan was the first to submit a potential answer of ‘Night Sky.’ I thought maybe it could have been one of the songs that Martin sings like “High Enough To Carry You Over” because maybe giving Lauren a break was helping her to clean her palate. But I have been told by David in the UK that the answer is ‘Lungs’. So, we will stick with that for the moment. The next “How Big of a CHVRCHES FAN are You?” question is “At which University did Iain and Martin meet at?” You can answer over on the Facebook CHVRCHES FAN PODCAST site (https://www.facebook.com/chvrchespodcast/) [or https://fb.me/chvrchespodcast]). SONG - CHVRCHES - “Miracle” ● http://chvrch.es/ ● https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chvrches ● https://nerdcore.de/2018/04/25/chvrches-miracle-official-video/ NEWS OK that was one of the latest songs that CHVRCHES have pre-released before their full album comes out at the end of May. And we will discuss more in a minute. OK there has been a ton of news since the last podcast. I think the the top four items are as follows: 1. Chvrches have announced their North America tour and tickets went on sale on Friday, April 27th. We will cover the complete lineup of currently scheduled concerts later in the podcast. 2. Chvrches released two new song from their upcoming Love Is Dead album that will be out on May 26, 2018. The first was “Miracle” (which we just heard just before this segment) and “Never Say Die” (which we will hear after this segment). Also “Miracle” has two music videos that are very cool to watch. It makes the music even more powerful in my opinion. 3. Chvrches recently did an amazing acoustic session on the Honda Stage at Power Station in NYC. The session include an interview, a cover of the song “XO” and then live versions of Get Out, Never Say Die, and Mother We Share. I highly recommend you check out the show notes for these videos. They are not to be missed. 4. Iain, Martin, and Lauren did a CHVRCHES Ask Me Anything (AMA) segment on Reddit at the end of March 2018. There are over 900 comments. You can read the whole Q&A via the links in the show notes. They also did an AMA in 2014 and there is a pretty active sub-reddit for CHVRCHES on REDDIT. Links to both of those will also be in the show notes. a. https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/8829v4/we_are_martin_iain_lauren_of_chv rches_ask_us/ b. https://www.reddit.com/r/chvrches/ c. https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/221iap/we_are_martin_iain_and_lauren_of _chvrches_ask_us/ In addition to these four keynews stories I have put all the other stories, links to new interviews, reviews of the new songs, etc. in the show notes at chvrchespodcast.com. There is probably at least an hour worth of links to go through and read if you have the time. ● https://www.standard.co.uk/go/london/music/chvrches-interview-moving-to-the-us-gave-us-new-creative-energy-a3807361.html ● https://youtu.be/Py7yqksNNOU (Interview) ● https://glassnotemusic.com/artists/chvrches/ ● http://www.bbc.com/news/newsbeat-43701310 ● https://www.magneticmag.com/2018/04/15-best-synth-tracks-march-2018/ ● https://www.hardcoregamer.com/2018/04/26/checking-in-with-dropmixs-latest-additions/297492/ ● http://www.flaunt.com/content/music/chvrches-love-is-dead-interview ● http://www.nme.com/news/music/chvrches-lauren-mayberry-sexual-misconduct-music-needs-shakedown-like-film-industry-2270808 ● https://consequenceofsound.net/2018/03/chvrches-lauren-mayberry-explains-her-political-activism-it-seems-irresponsible-not-to-be/ ● http://diymag.com/2018/03/30/never-say-die-chvrches-love-is-dead-cover-feature ● https://nylon.com/articles/soundcheck-april-14-2018 ● https://noisey.vice.com/en_us/article/59jka3/chvrches-miracle-has-a-drop-but-its-cool-girls-rock-glasgow ● https://www.interviewmagazine.com/music/romance-alive-well-love-dead-chvrches-new-album ● http://www.laurenmayberryfans.com/blog/watch-chvrches-perform-get-out-on-sounds-like-friday-night ● https://www.vestalmag.com/lauren-mayberry ● http://www.nme.com/nme-big-read-chvrches-punk-rock-joan-arc-pop ● https://www.readdork.com/news/if-chvrches-dont-finish-this-cover-of-totos-africa-civilisation-may-crumble/ ● https://juice.com.sg/love-is-dead-chvrches-next-step/ ● http://headlineplanet.com/home/2018/05/08/chvrches-scheduled-perform-may-15-tonight-show-starring-jimmy-fallon/ ● https://nylon.com/articles/chvrches-lauren-mayberry-love-is-dead-interview SONG - CHVRCHES - “Never Say Die” ● http://chvrch.es/ ● https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chvrches CONCERTS So that song was “Never Say Die” by CHVRCHES that will be on the new LOVE IS DEAD album coming out very soon. I really like this song. I can’t decide though if it is #2 or #3 of the four songs released so far. I still think “Get Out” is my top song right now. OK let’s review the most recent concert news for CHVRCHES as of April 27, 2018: … Complete details of course will be in the show notes at www.chrvchespodcast.com: ● http://www.laurenmayberryfans.com/blog/chvrches-announce-fall-2018-north-american-tour ● http://chvrch.es/#shows ● https://www.tinymixtapes.com/news/chvrches-announce-north-american-tour-dates ● http://www.nme.com/news/music/chvrches-announce-intimate-london-album-release-show-2308276 ENDING SONG - CHVRCHES - “Get Out (One Bit Remix)” ● http://chvrch.es/ ● https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chvrches ● https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Get_Out_(Chvrches_song) ● https://itunes.apple.com/nz/album/get-out-the-remixes-single/1355948725 That song sample was from the “Get Out” One Bit Remix. I have mixed feelings about these remixes. Cool that they can be done and maybe something to listen to later. But I don’t usually have any of the Chvrches remixes in my playlists except of course for the playlist for just remixes. Well we have reached the end of the today’s podcast content.

I am are going to end the podcast with our tradition of playing a recommended song that fits into the very broad genre of “Retro 80s Synth”. If you have a recommended song then please let me know and I will end a future podcast with it. You can now listen to the full list of Retro 80s Synth songs we have recommended since Podcast #1 using Google Play Music and Spotify. Check out the show notes for the current playlists (http://bit.ly/CFP-Retro-80s-Synth). Today’s song “True” by Spandau Ballet. It was released in April of 1983 and reach #4 in the Billboard’s Pop Chart and was #1 in the UK for four weeks. The original guitar chords were adapted to keyboard and those parts were played on a Rhodes Chroma keyboard in the recording studio. Another interesting tidbit about this song is that usually the band used an electric base in the studio but in this case they used a synth-bass keyboard on True in the studio.
