Everything Everything to release debut album next month

Everything Everything have announced that they will release their debut album, ‘Man Alive’, on 30 Aug via Geffen.

The album is quite a mish mash of influences it seems. Explains bassist Jeremy: “We’ve never been comfortable with the indie tag. If it’s Girls Aloud or Slint, it doesn’t matter – if we like it we’ll listen to it and work out what makes it good. There are hundreds of years of amazing music to draw on. Why place restrictions on yourself? We belong to a generation that was too young to buy into Britpop fully, so we’ve had no single significant pop cultural movement to throw our lot in with”.

He added: “My childhood began with the fall of the Berlin Wall. It ended when I was sixteen when 9/11 happened. I grew up a tiny little village in rural Northumberland so I was very isolated during that period. I didn’t have a television until I was seventeen, so I listened to the radio a lot. I was making music all the time in my bedroom – my one rule was not to sound like anyone else”.

The band re-release the single, ‘My Kz, Ur Bf’, on 23 Aug. The video for which can be viewed here: youtu.be/RUq7tbuH00E
