So I guess there must have been stuff going on with me personally as well that made it manifest itself in that way. I think everybody went through the same stuff in the media last year and it didn’t affect everyone in the same way it affected me, I don’t think, although I thought it did. Where does that darkness come from, do you think? Obviously it’s very inspired by the state of the world, but is also personal stuff you guys were going through? If there’s a happy-sounding song with a dark lyric and a violent coat of paint on it, it’s like, “What is that?!” It’s much more interesting. There’s too much of that in the world, so to mix it up and have conflicting imagery and emotions is much more exciting and interesting. We all find it very one-dimensional if you have a sad song with a sad picture on the front.
The two don’t have to go hand-in-hand, and it’s much more interesting when you do have contradictions, and when you do have different flavors like that. Would you agree, and if so, what do you make of that contradiction? The second is that it contains some of your darkest material to date. The first is that it contains some of your most accessible material to date. Noisey: There are two interesting points that stand out when you first listen to Get to Heaven. It’s something that has very deliberately shifted the focus of the band into more political territory, which makes their place in the music world, and their music, as important and relevant as ever.

Rather, it’s a very angry and intelligent record- albeit it one that is full of happy-sounding moments-that directly address the state of the world, something which Higgs was very influenced by during the writing of its songs. Besides, listen to Get to Heaven and it’s pretty obvious that’s not the case. Here’s a tip: next time you see singer/guitarist/keyboard and general brainchild Jonathan Higgs, don’t tell him the Manchester art-pop (for want of a better term) band’s music is “difficult.” One, because it really isn’t, and two, because he’s getting kind of tired of hearing it. Regardless of what that actually amounts to in sales, it’s not bad for a band who-since they formed towards the end 2007-have been labeled by critics and fans alike as deliberately obtuse. At the time of writing, Get to Heaven, Everything Everything’s just-released third album is battling it out with Wolf Alice’s debut record for the number one spot in the UK charts.
