Excuse me for the back-patting, but I think we’ve smashed it with the first four episodes of the new Birthday Cake For Breakfast podcast, ‘60 Minutes or less‘. In case you missed it, to kick off 2024, we’ve added one more podcast to the giant podcast bin! Chuffed enough with our first three episodes featuring guests Joe Casey of Protomartyr, Paul Hanley of The Fall and Philip Frobos of Omni, we’re stoked to have our fourth feature a chat with Jonathan Higgs, vocalist, guitarist and more in Everything Everything.
Art-rockers with a knack for hitting you in the feels one minute and getting you up on your feet dancing the next, Everything Everything have been one of our favourite Northern institutions over the past decade or so, an outfit we’ve been lucky enough to catch live in venues both vast and intimate over the years and whose records we can never get enough of.
Over the course of fifteen plus years together, the band have had five albums reach the Top 10 in the UK charts. This week, Everything Everything release their seventh album, ‘Mountainhead’, featuring the single ‘Cold Reactor’, their biggest radio hit to date. Is a Top 10 position on the cards this time around? I have personally been hammering their new record, so I’d certainly think so.
A week before Everything Everything were due to launch ‘Mountainhead’ at Stockport Plaza (which we were lucky to be witness to), I caught up with Jonathan over Zoom to talk about the new record, utilising AI and bothering the charts with Taylor Swift. Full context – the entire chat was recorded whilst Jonathan was wearing a little chef hat emoji atop his head (more on that later). For now, enjoy this latest episode and get out and grab a copy of ‘Mountainhead’ this week!
