EVERYTHING EVERYTHING GET TO HEAVEN

MANCHESTER-BASED art-rockers Everything Everything - Jonathan Higgs, Jeremy Pritchard, Michael Spearman and Alex Robertshaw - return with their third, and probably most accessible, album to date.

Higgs’ falsetto has never sounded so good as on the group’s third full-length record, with To The Blade an agitated and engaging opener, lead single Distant Past reminiscent of a classic 1990s dance track when it kicks in, and poppy new single Regret sure to go down well at T In The Park, Leeds and Reading festivals this summer.

The lyrics are sharp and witty in places, with the line, “It’s alright to feel like a fat child in a pushchair, old enough to run” forming the crux of the excellent No Reptiles.
