Anyone who had hoped that Everything Everything would get their boundless energy a little better under control after debut (2010), will be disappointed with successor Arc. The Manchester quartet still likes to stuff as many ideas as possible into a pop song of barely four minutes. Could that be the reason behind the band name? They want to do everything and then again. Basically Everything Everything
… is an indie band that flirts with dance rhythms and electronica. You should not call the group experimental, because the thirteen songs are actually quite simple. It is mainly the fragmentary production that makes the band so special and exhausting. Another strong asset is the falsetto of singer Jonathan Higgs. He sounds like 's prodigal son ( ) and ( ), who also opted for a lot of bombast and variety with their bands. If the guys from Everything Everything dose their craziness a bit in the future - so don't get rid of it completely! - then a lot is still possible. (JE)more
