And we’re back! Welcome to Why Not Both Wednesdays. Every week, in partnership with Why Not Both podcast, we’ll be presenting new podcast episodes that explore how multiple passions inform the inspiring lives of musicians, writers, actors, and creatives.

When Lauren Mayberry of CHVRCHES sat down to write for the record Screen Violence, she found that her intention for the record was quite different from her previous work. The pandemic had accidentally placed her in a one woman writing camp far away from her bandmates which gave her a moment to step outside the of her own narrative and step into the world of horror movies, only to realize just how much they tied into her personal experience of navigating fear. It goes to show that sometimes when we step just outside our comfort zone, we sometimes discover a wealth of ideas that were waiting there all along for us to notice them.

For more from Why Not Both, get cozy with us on Instagram and Twitter. For previous episodes, including Garbage, Tori Amos, and Tegan and Sara, get clicking on our streaming options.

For more from CHVRCHES, give them a follow on Instagram and Twitter. Their new album Screen Violence is out now. Lauren is also a cover artist on the recent anniversary issue of Under the Radar.
