A recollection in the Guardian interview has the pair going to Australia with the Tourists, only for the band to break up and leave them sitting in a hotel in Wagga Wagga. A bank loan paid for a small eight-track studio that the duo built in 1982 above a picture framing factory at Chalk Farm, London, so that recording no longer meant paying expensive studio rates. A hotel in a country town after a failed tour, followed by a studio built on a loan, suggests a duo who turned a low point into the means of making their own records, answering to nobody but each other once the studio was running. Lennox had come across an educational exercise system as a child, and the duo took its name, Eurythmics, from it; they kept themselves as the sole permanent members and writers and invited others in according to compatibility and availability. American Songwriter notes that Stewart and Lennox wrote every Eurythmics song together and that Stewart produced all of them. A small permanent partnership with outside players invited in as needed hints at a way of working that kept the songwriting tight while leaving the sound open to whoever suited each song. The Guardian's account of Sweet Dreams describes a juggernaut rhythm that was not yet a song, until Annie delivered a startling rant that began with the line about sweet dreams being made of this. The same Guardian account records a feeling of being in a dream world, chasing something that would never happen, all of which poured into the song. The record company saw no chorus and therefore no single, yet a Cleveland radio DJ kept spinning the album track and his studio phones lit up. A song born from a rhythm, a rant and a sense of unreality, which then reached listeners through one DJ's persistence, suggests a hit that nobody had planned, and that began as a mood and a groove before it had any words. For the Songwriters Hall of Fame, the duo's worldwide success came with the album Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This), its title track topping charts in many countries including the United States, before the pair parted in 1990. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame describes their pop vision as genre- and gender-fluid, using the mechanistic funk of Krautrock, the grit of gospel and the strangeness of psychedelia, both futuristic and beholden to past eras while staying eminently accessible. Eight studio albums in eight years left a rift between the two, and the duo disbanded without formal notice. Among their honours are Best New Artist at the 1984 MTV Video Music Awards, a Grammy in 1987 and, in 1999, the Brit Award for Outstanding Contribution to Music. A pace of eight albums in eight years, ending in a quiet split without a formal announcement, hints at how intense the partnership was, and that it ended through exhaustion more than a single event.
