CHVRCHES x Passion Pit would be a dream. I could also see you and Ezra Koenig making amazing music together. You and Grimes could also make an amazing song. Or maybe a Pay No Mind part 2 with Porter Robinson and Madeon this time?

Hey guys!! I’m a huge fan, I met you guys in philly back in September 2016 and it was one of my favorite concert experiences ever lol.

Anyway, how did the process of making each of your three albums differ and what are some things that stayed the same?

Will we ever get another song structured like Tether? I think it’s definitely your best song and also one of the most interesting songs I’ve ever heard structurally!

Also, I know you guys are bigger now, but will you still offer the meet and greet entries for the fan clvb?

Thanks !

Regardless of whether or not I always agree with your reviews I'm a big fan of them and always read the ones I'm interested in, thanks for being a great source for music.

As someone who has tried to write reviews myself, I was wondering how difficult it is for you to review albums objectively versus subjectively. For example, if you have somewhat of a personal or emotional connection to an album but also think that it is objectively not as good as you personally believe it is, how hard is it to forget those emotional connections and simply "tell it like it is" in your reviews?

Bonus question, are there any great albums from 2016 you like that didn't make your list?

Thanks for doing this guys, I hope I get an answer!

I'm sure you hear this from a lot of people, but I just want to start by saying how much your music means to me. I've been struggling with anxiety and depression for years now, and your music really spoke to me more than any other artists. What you do is very inspiring, the way you can portray how you--and so many other people--feel through music, and the way you can push on and remain positive, it's just inspiring. People like you keep people like me going, so thank you for that.

Apologies for the long intro, on to my question: How do you take all your feelings/thoughts and use them to create coherent lyrics and music? I've always tried writing songs but I always have so many thoughts and feelings popping into my head at once that it's impossible to create anything meaningful or understandable. Additionally, what is your writing process?You seem to do a great job of creating vibrant instrumentals which contrast somewhat darker lyrics, is that always the intent or does it just seem to happen?

Thank you so much for doing this ama! It really means a lot to me and everyone else, I'm excited to read your responses!
