Фирма Everything Everythin

Back from the brink. Back to what they do best, which is make beautiful, provocative, literate, status quo-challenging, mood-enhancing, twice-Mercury-nominated music. Back to everything Everything Everything ever wanted to do.Back to big-thinking, big-tune brilliance, and forward to Re-Animator, the fifth album by Jon Higgs (vocals, guitars), Jeremy Pritchard (bass), Alex Robertshaw (guitars, keyboards) and Michael Spearman (drums).After the near back-to-back albums that were the coruscating, world-going-to-hell prescience of Get To Heaven (Higgs in 2015: “After we'd finished the record, I read the lyrics back and I realised I'd written a horror bible”) and the politically and socially thorny A Fever Dream (Higgs in 2017: “I was kind of embroiled inthe whole culture of Reddit, being online and seeing how many social laws break down in that frontier of internet communication”), Re-Animator is Everything Everything regrouping and taking a breath.It is also, in a wholly accidental but no less meaningful way, an album framed by the right here and the right now –a set of songs bracketed by fire, flood and plague. ‘Re-Animator’ sets its positive tone right from the start with the glorious pop energy of opener ‘Lost Powers’. ‘Big Climb’ is then constructed for the dancefloor, albeit with far darker lyrics that offer a climate emergency-themed anthem for the youth. It all comes to a head with the climatic New Order-meets-Springsteen epic ‘Violent Sun’, an anxious and euphoric celebration of defiant unity in the midst of end times. In short, ‘Re-Animator’ is that Everything Everything excel at. It’s beautiful, provocative, literate and mood-enhancing.
