Everything Is, the debut album from Manchester's Nine Black Alps, came out on Island Records on 13 June 2005, and it's the record that put the band on the map. Formed two years earlier and named after a Sylvia Plath poem, "The Couriers", they handed the controls to Rob Schnapf, and he let them sound like what they were: a young indie rock band with loud guitars and something to prove, with founding bassist and guitarist Martin Cohen in the lineup.
Island milked it for five singles, "Cosmopolitan", "Shot Down", "Not Everyone", "Unsatisfied" and "Just Friends". Reviews were mostly kind, a chunk of the British music press got properly excited, and the band came out of it with a devoted following at home. The Glitter Gulch EP followed, and then Love/Hate in 2007.
