Just two months after Cough Cough was unveiled, Everything
Everything have released yet another new track from their upcoming album ‘Arc’.
Cough Cough began with…well…coughing, but Kemosabe begins with some odd buzzing. From there it blooms into a track that has
everything you could want from the art-rockers: a hypnotic concoction of
electronica and blazing guitars; jagged drum beats; Jonathan Higgs’ cooing
falsetto vocals; and a healthy dose of intellectual weirdness – the title alone
referring to the catchphrase of a fictional Native American character meaning “faithful
friend”. These two recent tracks show
that the band’s new material is a little more accessible than on their debut,
with instant chart appeal, whilst retaining their signature depth of sound and
complexity. It’s all paving the way
towards a superb second album.
