Chvrches' impact on the pop landscape made itself known almost immediately after the release of The Bones of What You Believe -- in the years that followed, artists big and small were borrowing the
Scottish trio's flair for heart-on-sleeve lyrics wrapped in soaring,
synth-laden choruses. Even if the sensitive synth-pop field was more
crowded at the time of Every Open Eye's release than it was in 2013, Chvrches
distinguish themselves by continuing to do this sound better than just
about anyone. Rather than expanding on their debut's combination of
hooks and huge soundscapes, they streamline the formula that made songs
like "Recover" and "The Mother We Share" so beloved. "Never Ending
Circles," with its staccato verses and sweeping choruses, might be the
quintessential Chvrches song. This isn't to say that Every Open Eye is predictable. The band makes some subtle adjustments, opting for a bright, punchy approach inspired by Quincy Jones' work with Michael Jackson on Off the Wall and Thriller, where the producer made a handful of elements sound massive. Sometimes
the '80s influence is understated, adding a more urgent bounce to songs
like "Keep You on My Side" and "Bury It;" sometimes it's more blatant,
with the synth tones on "Make Them Gold" evoking the theme song to St.
Elmo's Fire, and the giddy arpeggios on "Clearest Blue" echoing Depeche Mode's "Just Can't Get Enough." But even if Every Open Eye is cheerier-sounding than The Bones of What You Believe, its emotions are just as complex. As on their debut, it's Lauren Mayberry who brings Chvrches'
skyward sounds back down to earth. On songs such as "Empty Threat" and
"Playing Dead," she's vulnerable yet clear-eyed, open to letting people
into her heart and strong enough to let them go if and when the time
comes. Martin Doherty sings one of the album's most disillusioned songs, the Twin Shadow-esque "High Enough to Carry You Over" and shines on "Down Side of Me," a mournful duet with Mayberry
that delivers one of the album's stand-out moments and proves the
band's dark side is alive and well. It's another example of how Chvrches give fans what they want without rehashing their debut on Every Open Eye, an almost uncannily well-crafted second album. ~ Heather Phares, AllMusic
