You'll love the album I reckon. The music is wonderful, and his lyrics are superb! There is some great bass playing on there too.

4 Strings Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 These are one the faves of both my sons, They've done remixes etc and their last cd has been round in the car a few hundred times and their latest eagerly awaited. Fabulous imagination, yes the bass player is indeed very good, as is the drummer. This is the sort of thing on which I place my high regard for young people.

Spoombung Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 (edited) Yep, I'm a fan. The whole family is, especially my 10 year old son. We played the 'Man Alive' album to death for about a year or so, so had to give it a rest. Looking forward to the new CD. This is far and away my favourite track: [media]http://youtu.be/-G6zlhw-cdk[/media] Edited September 15, 2012 by Spoombung Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoombung Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 I've gotta say there are LOADS of great bands around at the moment. The people that moan about a lack of good music are usually too lazy to look for it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vZwzBJ3Lx7Q&feature=related[/media] [/quote] Interesting. I'm a huge It Bites and Dunnery fan but not once have Everything Everything reminded me of them. And it was a fellow IB/Dunnery fan that turned me onto EE last year. I suppose EE are similar in terms of their imagination, complexity and musicianship, but not much more than that.

It's so great that you and a couple of others here love this so much that they've instantly bought it because of this thread. They are a great band and I hope they continue to create such lovely stimulating music. It's worth reading his lyrics too, they are extremely articulate, puzzling, wonderfully interpretive and thought provoking. Cheers Bert!

51m0n Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 Clever stuff, very free compositionally (ie you just dont know where they will go next). Dont really like his voice though, which is a shame - not his fault, other than the upper range he keeps hanging around in, which just isnt floating my boat at all - might grow on me though. Cheers Nige! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xgsjx Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 They're really rather good. Those 1st couple of tracks sound very 80s in a good way. A little like Thomas Dolby perhaps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
