Everything Everything: Arc

Everything Everything, A band which have taken us by storm in 2010 with debut album Man Alive featuring jagged synth led indie pop, Intricate rhythm sections all lead by the falsetto pipes of lead singer Jonathan Higgs. Their first effort was received to critical acclaim and supported by a string of singles including the infectiously catchy Schoolin and indie disco anthem MY KZ UR BF and now. They have made their return with sophomore album Arc which is due out tomorrow (14/01/2013). Singles Cough Cough and Kemosabe have set tongues wagging desperate to hear the rest which show a fine return to form. Single Cough Cough shows a huge leap in maturity for band with the song tackling more relevant social issues highlighted by the clips of rioting in the official video (below). Kemosabe see's the band lean on a more guitar led melody echoing across the track building to a perfect hook and epic sounding chorus supported by jittery synths and ticking beats, makes for a song that will stick with you all day and not leave you alone. And i couldn't be any happier about it.

I for one cannot wait for this and to see them tour the album in february. Having seen them three times previously they are a band that have a live reputation that shouldn't be taken lightly.

Arc is released 14/01/2013 through RCA records.
