Just been watching their Glastobury set and it's brought back just how much these guys impressed me with their debut. I held back on suggesting them when I first discovered them a year or so ago because I didn't want that initial flurry of excitement to cloud my judgement, but after listening to that record inside out for a few months then leaving it alone for a few more to let the dust settle, I'm now utterly convinced that these guys deserve a place here. Everything Everything have an extraordinary knack of boiling down immensely complex musical ideas into tight, eclectic little pop songs, as these samples will hopefully demonstrate: I'll stop there before I end up posting the whole album. |

Aye. I like to have these debates "out in the open", as it were, but I've alerted them to the existence of this thread now. |

I can't help but find a modern similarity to 10cc. Personally I do not see them sitting in crossover, maybe PR as a long shot. Also they would have to get in the back of the queue behind Devo ------------- ...As I venture through the slipstream, between the viaducts in your dreams...[/COLOR] |

You mentioned this back when it was released, and I still think they're far too pop to belong anywhere on PA (and I don't just think that because they have the most annoying singer in the universe). ------------- if you own a sodastream i hate you |

There is something about them. I feel I could say YES to them, but I'm very unsure about this band.

OK, well I won't throw a strop if they don't make it in (they certainly don't need the extra exposure), but I'd ask you all to consider this one really carefully. There is a real intricacy and depth to their sound which sets them miles apart from most pop, or indeed rock groups. They put me in mind of Gentle Giant at times, though they don't wear their tricky rhythms like a badge of honour in the same way. Stick on a pair of headphones and give those samples a couple of good thorough listens before making any snap judgements and you might see what I'm driving at here! |

^ Happy to add them to our evaluation chart and see what the team decides
.
Any myspace/www links? ------------- ...As I venture through the slipstream, between the viaducts in your dreams...[/COLOR] |

The myspace player is currently cluttered with remixes and a cover song so it won't really be a good tool for evaluation. The album's on spotify, for those with access to that, or alternatively, http://www.we7.com/#/album/Everything-Everything/Man-Alive" rel="nofollow - we7 . If neither of those work I'll happily compile a full list of youtube links in the correct order (it's all bound to be on there). |

| I strongly support this. The last song on the debut could even be classified as avant. |

Their album Man Alive can be streamed for free on Grooveshark, although the tracks aren't numbered. http://grooveshark.com/#/album/Man+Alive/4797114" rel="nofollow - http://grooveshark.com/#/album/Man+Alive/4797114
