Everything Everything are an English indie rock band that formed in late 2007. They originate from Northumberland, Kent and Guernsey and reside in Manchester.
The band have released three albums to date – 2010's Man Alive, 2013's Arc and 2015's Get To Heaven – and have been widely critically acclaimed. Their work was shortlisted for the Mercury Music Prize and received three nominations for the Ivor Novello Award.
Everything Everything are noted for an extremely eclectic and dynamic style, with complex song construction and dense, detailed lyrics sung in falsetto by Jonathan Higgs. While nominally an alternative rock band with outright pop stylings, the band uses production and rhythmic approaches closer to those of contemporary R&B, glitch pop and electronica (including heavy use of laptop programming and processing) and songwriting approaches similar to those of progressive or psychedelic rock. Critic Paul Lester has compared Everything Everything's sound to "a riot in a melody factory" and compared them to "Timbaland if he cocked an oblique ear to Yes". In the Guardian, Mark Beaumont described the band as "the most intricate, streamlined merging yet of math rock's arch complexities, electronica's 80s obsession and hooks made from mobile phone interference."
[The House is Dust]
you take the family I take the car
and the house is dust
there's a cap on the bottle that won't let you in
a child proof lock
and there's one for money and two for the show
your idle hands
and know who's the fossil and who gets the girl
it's all so clear
and all (?)
to something more (?)
to something more
make my eyes roll back
I'm living proof, that nothing gets done
I'm living proof, that nothing gets done
I wish I could be living
at the end of all living
just to know what happened
just to know what happened
I would know every answer
just how far we all made it
this is all my life
