Jeremy and Jonathan from the band talk us through their forthcoming album from recording techniques to the lyrics, and reveal they have a hard time being understood at times.
Transcript
00:07Hello I'm Jeremy and I'm Jonathan from Everything Everything.
00:11Two years we've been working on these songs basically and it's just amazing to finally get it out.
00:17We've been working on it for ages. All the recording process, the mixing, the mastering, the decisions that have to
00:23be made.
00:23Finally it's out of here for waiting for it since we were really young really. Long before we knew each
00:29other really.
00:30We always wanted to make an album and now it's finally here. It still doesn't really feel real.
00:35It's very diverse. There's a kind of upbeat side of us, of our singles that you've probably heard, may have
00:42heard.
00:44And there's also some more deeper, sort of more restrained things going on.
00:52And there's also some far more ridiculous things on there where it's not restrained at all.
00:58So very diverse, there's just lots of depth really, lots of things you can get really stuck into if you
01:04really want to.
01:05We've put the lyrics up on our own website.
01:09And in the record.
01:10Yeah, definitely in the record.
01:12I think the lyrics are really really important to what we do and because of the way they're delivered,
01:16a lot of people don't know what the hell I'm saying a lot of the time.
01:19And I spend a lot of time, an awful lot of time, getting them right and working on them.
01:23And they're just as important as everything else we do.
01:27And I don't want people to not know what's going on.
01:30I really want people to hear what I'm saying and get into lyrics.
01:34Because there's a lot of levels you can approach them from.
01:36There's lots of double meanings and hidden things.
01:38And personal things but also kind of global things or things that affect everyone in there.
01:44One is who's going to sit on the fence when I'm gone and who's going to sit on the fence
01:49when I'm done.
01:51Those are the two options that you have.
01:53Anything else is just tawdry.
01:57I was going through all the lyrics after we'd made it, looking for an album title.
02:00We thought Taj Mahal was a good title for a while.
02:04Went against that.
02:05A lot of people disagreed with us.
02:06Yeah.
02:07Howard from Take That emailed us.
02:10He found us out of the blue and just said he really liked us.
02:12He really liked all the...
02:14He said he'd been waiting for a band like us for years.
02:17We've got all the rhythm that he's been waiting for or something like that.
02:21And we were just gobsmacked.
02:23Absolutely gobsmacked.
02:24He's the best one.
02:26Apart from Gary and the others.
02:29But apparently Gary's into it now as well.
02:32So we're absolutely amazing for us.
02:35We've got a totally straight face and honest heart.
02:39We can say that we do think Take That are pretty phenomenal and to have that kind of...
02:43Just the wealth of experience that they have.
02:46There's no benefit to him to seek us out and make contact with us and come and see us.
02:50It's absolutely amazing that he would do that.
02:53We really respect them as a group.
02:54We actually really like that music.
02:56For what moment?
02:57On Myspace at the moment.
02:59It's going to be there a week before and a week after the album release.
03:02So the whole thing's there if you want to check it out.
03:05If you like it, you should probably buy it.
03:08Definitely should try it.
03:10This What во why?
03:18You're probably not alone.
03:19And everybody!
03:19I love Dr.
03:19It's very weird for you guys to tell us.
