Everything Everything

Just when you think you've got EE pegged, they come along and release a synth pop concept album about late-stage capitalism & viral road rage, structured around a central mountain theme - that might seem a bit highfalutin but, fear not, the Mancunians haven't forgotten the all-important skill of how to pen a bloody good TUNE!.

In another world, society has built an immense mountain To make the mountain bigger, they must make the hole they live in deeper and deeper. All of society is built around the creation of the mountain, and a mountain religion dominates all thought. At the top of the mountain is rumoured to be a huge mirror that reflects endlessly recurring images of the self, and at the bottom of the pit is a giant golden snake that is the primal fear of all believers. A “Mountainhead” is one who believes the mountain must grow no matter the cost, and no matter how terrible it is to dwell in the great pit. The taller the mountain, the deeper the hole.
