Everything Everything formed in late 2007 and made their name as the art rock band with the most words per minute: eclectic, jittery music under lyrics that are complex and avant-garde-inspired, all delivered in Jonathan Higgs's elastic, leaping lead vocal. Higgs also plays guitar, keys and synths, Jeremy Pritchard handles bass, bass synth and baritone guitar, Alex Robertshaw has worked guitar and keyboards since 2009 after Alex Niven's departure, and Michael Spearman rounds out the core.
Arc, from 2013, brought "Cough Cough", a spluttering, stop-start riot of a single, and Get to Heaven in 2015 carried "Distant Past", dance-floor pop wound tight as a spring. They are a band that critics keep coming back to: twice shortlisted for the Mercury Music Prize and nominated five times at the Ivor Novello Awards, across seven albums that run from Man Alive in 2010 to Mountainhead in 2024.
