Everything Everything have released their first new single in two years - click here to listen to the John Congleton-produced 'In Birdsong'..

Jon’s explanation of this song is delightful:

“I had come across a concept by psychology academic Julian Jaynes, the Bicameral Mind Theory: the idea that at one stage humans had two separate minds, one inside each half of our brains, and messages or commands would be delivered by one and received by the other. These ‘voices’ were thought to be those of the divine. The theory claims that the eventual melding of these two minds into the two-sided human brain we have now was the dawn of mankind’s consciousness. 

I wanted to somehow insert this evolutionary psychology into a song because I felt so in awe of the idea. I found a deep sense of wonder at its core, about life and the world. It applies to songs about love, sex, life, death and humanity – the things I’ve always written about.

We weren’t intending to share this song right now, but in the age of coronavirus, we wanted to be responsive to the changed landscape and ‘In Birdsong’ unexpectedly emerged as the most appropriate song to reappear with. Birdsong has accompanied human life since before we were even human, but in the recent century it has been obscured or pushed out of our lives. In the song I talk about hearing birdsong and knowing we are conscious and alive. With fewer cars and planes, and less human intervention generally, we’ve all been given the opportunity to reconnect with resurgent nature, and where we all are, for this brief moment – In Birdsong.”

Now I get to wear pretty much the best album cover of all time as a shirt. Thanks @e_e_ for bringing this one back! Please come back to SoCal for the next album! #everythingeverything #everythingeverythingband #e_e_ #eeband #ee #GetToHeaven #AndrewArcher (at San Diego, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1NfICSH78Q/?igshid=1bp7img48hivz

#EverythingEverything’s last show of their too-short US tour at #TeragramBallroom in LA. It was intense! None of these photos do it justice. I’m gonna need all of my compatriots to get into these guys immediately and start giving them the praise they deserve because you’re all missing out! Banging tunes, funny & deeply touching lyrics, incredible energy on stage. #RawDataFeel #EverythingEverythingband #RawDataFeelTour #RawDataFeelUSTour #livemusic (at The Teragram Ballroom) https://www.instagram.com/p/ClNkSvOO-B3/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I have been waiting to see #EverythingEverything @e_e_ again since basically the moment their LA show ended in 2017. I was a new fan then and I was struck that night by how dedicated their fanbase was. There were so many people there who had come from all over & they had made all kinds of little gifts & some of them greeted (& were greeted by) the band like old friends. The long-time fans were so sweet & so happy to be there. It’s the ultimate cult following & I hope that shows in these clips. I know they don’t do it justice (I was caught up in the moment!) but the energy in that room was unbelievable. For context: these songs are some of their oldest & newest, big singles & lesser-known album tracks, with no apparent difference in enthusiasm. The name that people started chanting during the encore break is not a band member, it’s a character from their latest album, #RawDataFeel. Thank you EE for coming back to the U.S. & thank you to my fellow Sardines/Eggs/etc. for being weirdos with me. I’m glad I got to meet everyone I did & sorry for everyone I missed! #SummitDenver #SummitMusicHall #EverythingEverythingBand #WhatIsKevinOn? #RawDataFeelTour (at Summit Denver) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ck47S9vNxVJ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I haven’t said it enough yet but #EverythingEverything’s #REANIMATOR is amazing. What other album has the #BicameralMind hypothesis, malevolent #fatberg gods, classic Twilight Zone monsters, lovelorn apes, a banger about the threat of global warming, and a deep reverence for the miracle of life and the wonder of human consciousness? Cats will tolerate it too! Buy it, stream it, love it, cherish it. #everythingeverythingband #E_E_ #vinyl #artrock #indiemusic #music #albumart #lyrics #linernotes (at San Diego County, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFv060_Dzja/?igshid=a4mzt0x8m8he

The #EverythingEverything enamel badge set is rad! They did a good job representing each album cover without making them too big & they’re good quality. A very reasonable price for enamel pins too. They’re limited edition with only 100 sets so grab one while you can! #E_E_ #everythingeverythingband #bandmerch #merch #enamelpin #enamelbadge #pins #badges #albumcovers #albumart #ManAlive #Arc #GetToHeaven #AFeverDream #REANIMATOR #sardinesattheborder #TheCollectiveEEBraincell (at San Diego, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CEIyjfyD_Mh/?igshid=11y5y5bf7q1v5
