Everything Everything? WHAT?You've heard the same words floating around the music scene for a while, you've seen reviews but haven't ever gave the quartet a second thought and you've never bothered to type the same two words into YouTube have you? Well stop avoiding it; it's inevitable... You are going to adore this band!
'Cough Cough' (also a repetition) is the brand new single to be released by Art Rockers Everything Everything. The opening sequence of a chorus of 'Cough Cough's' grabs the song by the antlers and pushes it into a direction of mystery and excitement. Que the beating of drums as large as the quartet and you're on to a winner.
There is something about this new sound that I can't put my hands on. It isn't the usual Everything Everything; it's no My KZ, UR BF or no Qwerty Finger. It's something new and fresh, and just like indie rock band The Vaccines: it's mature. Robertshaw's song writting skills have been kicked up a knotch and into sheer brilliance.
Johnathan Higgs' voice remains magical and sound through out 'Cough Cough'. His high pitched notes (no man would ever dream of reaching) grasp inside of you and fill you up, making your body move to the sound of his vocals. It's very rare you get such a man with a powerful high voice, that is still so lovely to listen to.
If you're going to say that 'Cough Cough' sums Everything Everything up: then you would be wrong. 'Cough Cough' is a feeling. As the lyrics describe what song it is; in my opinion it's a way to forget. 'sold your liver but you're still feeling the red, sold my feelings now I'm hanging by a thread'. The song entices you into a sleepy chant to the sound of pounding drums. You work, you play, you smoke, you get payed. You work and you play and you smoke and you get payed.
It's been exactly two years (August 30th) since Everything Everything's debut album 'Man Alive' was realeased on Geffen, and what an amazing two years this band have had! Winning The Times Breakthrough Act in 2011, preforming at BBC Radio 1's Big Weekend in Carlisle and supporting Snow Patrol on their arena tour of the UK. Now Everything Everything are back and they're bigger than ever with new single 'Cough Cough'.
Could 'Could Cough' be the new sound of Everything Everything? Could this change the game and lob them into complete mainstream success? No, but it is a starting point. If the new album is anything like the sound of 'Cough Cough' then non-fans of the band, and new fans will instantly fall in love with what the new album 'Arc' has to offer. But for the already adoring fans of Everything Everything they will have to step back and look at the gold that will soon be appearing in their pockets.
It's clear to say that the song is beautifully worked though. The mystically enhanced vocals do draw you in to the song and make you feel involved in the drums, the pounding guitars and swimming with the backing vocals. It's a heavy contender for the new wave of music that is soon going to appear on the shelfs on HMV.
'Cough Cough' is available now to download and purchase from iTunes
