Music Weekly: Week 33: Everything Everything: Man Alive
Everything Everything was recommended by Howard, the record shop proprietor, who said something like "They're poppy, but there's ... more to them than that." And I think that's pretty accurate. They're quite, I don't know, arty, I suppose, in the way someone like Interpol is. They remind me more than anyone of ¡Forward, Russia! because of the stuttering nature of both the singing and the music, though Everything Everything are indeed poppier, as promised. The album has one very very catch pop track, photoshop handsome, which deserved better than its 129 in the charts. I might listen to the rest of the album from time to time, but I doubt that its going to feature that heavily in my playlists
