On Repeat: Everything Everything – Photoshop Handsome.
Everything Everything of Manchester played Camden Crawl the other day and I was impressed with their upfront, harmony heavy, math rock meets infectious guitar pop style. It was a hard pick between this forthcoming single, the wonderfully titled, ‘Photoshop Handsome’ and their debut offering ‘Suffragette Suffragette’.
For Fans Of: Foals, Talking Heads, Radiohead. // more
