Random comment on 2:11 , you can still get Arc on vinyl on Amazon UK, so if you are really desperate for it, you could try to find someone willing to somehow buy it and ship it to you

[@diamondpoppa]

Love your channel! I'd love to see your take on Joywave and IDKHOW:)

[@akaalphagamer3558]

Could you make a video about Childish Gambino?

[@sgtwurmling6586]

hi, sorry, late to the party... in your Playlist on Spotify "breadwinner" is nowhere to be found. i think that is a missed opportunity for it is on no major release and fairly little known. love the vids tho

[@geeyouknit0648]

Bro do a video on mars Volta

[@Kwiteee]

telling other people this video title has been my life's mission for the last half a decade

[@quitecomely]

big same lol. I've been an Everything Everything evangelist, much to the annoyance of most of my friends.. BUT THEY JUST NEED TO LISTEN TO ONE SONG, GOD DANGIT!!!

[@moomootheocelot]

Kwite likes Everything Everything???

[@vnbrh7124]

"Only as good as my god" from Deluxe edition of "Get to Heaven" is a masterpiece. So underrated song

[@eewahnah]

I love the track so much, great closer!

[@iv-500]

Love that one! "Hapsburg Lippp" is great too!

[@ScottAndersonYT]

@@iv-500 It’s a ridiculous sounding song. Which is a good thing. This album and all the b-sides are excellent. No filler to be found.

[@Crappiere]

It's a banger of a song. So evil. I love it!

[@djalex8080]

President Heartbeat is mine

[@steviemcdonnell]

Get to Heaven NEEDS a vinyl reissue

[@GherkmanProductions]

Yes!

[@webkinzfan00]

Unquestionably my favorite band currently working. The variety of their sound, the offbeat lyricism, the wailing voice of Jonathan Higgs on every track. Always nice to see them get a shoutout!

[@hiddentrack]

"Final Form" is one of the greatest songs of all time.

[@2ndEarth]

"No Reptiles" is one of the best minimalist music videos I have ever seen. It's so freaking powerful, and the music just absolutely rocks!

[@blakez6273]

The fact that he didn't mention Warm Healer is unfortunate. That song is absolutely insane to me. That drum and bass line combo is otherworldly. Definitely my favorite song on Get to Heaven.

[@ameliarose3142]

That was the song that popped up on my Spotify Playlist radio and I was hooked ever since. I didn't get the title on the first day. Didn't think I'd find it again. Spotify didn't let me down. I feel like that song doesn't get the love it deserves. Never have I heard a bass line/hook (whatever it's called) that sounds so catchy that it doesn't leave your mind.

[@mr.figgles9482]

Holy shit thank you. I have never heard anyone mention it but fuck if it isn’t one of my favourite songs out there. It’s such a quietly confident piece, and it’s always hit me emotionally in a spot that I don’t think anything else reaches.

[@themittenkitten_wastakenfromme]

We got ourselves another Jane Doe

[@mmegidolaonn8295]

my favourite song in general, not just by them !

[@donalmcevoy6441]

Holy fuck I’ve been waiting for so long for someone to talk about this band, Jonathan Higgs is genuinely a genius lyricist

[@thebenandcharlieshow6910]

Never scene your face or any clip of your studio before. Once I saw classics on the wall I loved this channel even more

[@harmonyinultraviolet]

He did showed his face in the studio before in Kid A video. Also Ratatat's gang rise up!

[@Jossarianz]

Every album on that wall is a classic

[@OscarBuelna]

Ratatat gang

[@kaiseryusuf6211]

Yeah loved seeing the future islands record up there

[@randyplavajka6116]

Warm Healer is an incredible track from Get to Heaven as well, so fantastic

[@anthonyeconomou6954]

One of my favourites too!

[@thefishtruck]

Yes!! A genius track

[@joshhillarious]

Smashed the Arc and Get to Heaven albums whilst at Uni and afterwards sadly, forgot about them for a few years. Fast forward 5 years something reminded me of them, resparked my love for their music and listened through Raw Data Feel whilst at work. Went to do the food shopping in my local coop that very evening and Jonathan Higgs walked past me. Honestly couldn't believe my eyes. Ended up chatting to him for a little bit, absolutely lovely man and it turns out he lives round the corner from me. Mad

[@manflesh84]

Good lord, that is actually mad. What a cool experience!

[@BIGBIGBIRTHA]

I love NOTHING MORE than being unexpectedly exposed to some band I’ve never even HEARD before, only to discover that they’ve apparently been waiting to become my FAVORITE band all along, I just never knew it! THANK YOU!!! ❤️

[@ctop]

Youre my number 1 resource for finding new music, so if this new format brings more frequent videos I'm here for it! Thanks for sharing this band!

[@goncaloferreira6713]

same

[@menardes7541]

Discoverd Everything Everything a couple months ago while 'No Reptiles' was playing in a Spotify number radio. It was the first time in a long time I was immediately hooked on a band. So unique, so innovative. More people should listen to them. So thank you for the video!

[@mitchlmitten5874]

I analyzed Zero Pharoh for a college literature course and got an A, and now they have a special place in my heart forever. Thank you for making this

[@benbennit]

Great track.

[@sarizsantuso1398]

This is gonna sound super dorky... but is there any chance I can read that paper? 😆

[@paulholdenwarren]

I first discovered Everything Everything 12 years ago, before the release of their first album when they opened for Keane during their 2010 tour and I have been following their journey ever since. Such a fantastic band!

[@heyoitsricco]

I've been loving these guys ever since Nothing But Thieves (which you should def check out if you haven't, Broken Machine is a piece of art) mentioned them as being one of their favorite bands. Get To Heaven is one of the best albums of the 2010's.

[@mydude5017]

YES YES

[@madeleinep.828]

Broken Machine AND their self-titled are two of my all-time favorite albums.

[@antidotes]

Love to see EE getting appreciation that they deserve, Get To Heaven is still one of my favourite albums of the last decade if not the whole century. On top of all this, they sounds absolutely fantastic live.

[@carlospeon427]

Amazing to see them get some well deserved praise. One of my favorite bands.

[@sonofsocrates9899]

Never clicked on a video faster since I knew the band and loved this album. The newer album is also a banger with catchy hooks and melodies. "Night of the long knives" is one of my favorite song. Great video 👍🏾

[@lordlau3328]

Everything Everything is my absolute favourite band so I really appreciate this video! I think they are not getting enough attention.

[@MrNuthaShot]

Saw them live in liverpool last night. Unbeatable energy. Flawless band

[@Middle8]

Those UK shows are looking wild. I swear I saw a video of a mosh pit.

[@basman2006]

The debut album instantly grabbed me. I really love them Bit disappointed that you didn't talk about the "who's gonna sit on your face" lyric

[@Middle8]

😂 I forgot about that! Apparently they trade off between singing “who’s gonna sit on your fence…” and “who’s gonna sit on your face…” - you can never really tell in that track

[@SakiDG]

man alive is still incredible :)

[@themittenkitten_wastakenfromme]

@@Middle8 he can never fall even 22 years later

[@jamesturner2914]

Man Alvie is fantastic, photoshop handsome is a heavy hitter. Get to heaven was me and my best mates favourite album for a long time, it was really my gateway drug into more abstract music and I’m thankful. Regret, regret is a classic, and the first time I’d heard it I was shocked to find out it was a new release.

[@OpaqueVisions47]

I somehow have never heard of them but they sound very interesting, definitely going to dive deeper. Revised: I've checked out more & am quite frankly blown away, this is more than just music, it's an experience.

[@guse7688]

Everything Everything was a part of my childhood cuz my parents found the song Spring/Sun/Winter/Dread on a whim and noe the Get To Heaven album has been a part of our life for so long now. I'm happy you were able to explain how amazing they are.

[@lewisnorth1188]

I'm so glad people are finally talking about EE, loved them for years and I saw them open for Foals in Cardiff last year and they were amazing

[@Middle8]

Foals are also great

[@josgranger7470]

My dad used to play get to heaven in the car all the time as I grew up so I have a weird sort of nostalgia attached to everything everything. I started listening to them again more recently and it's nice to know that my opinion hasn't completely been tinted by nostalgia, it really is a great album.

[@michaelstuart341]

Get To Heaven is one of the best albums of last decade, it's such a great, energetic, biting commentary/teardown of modern society, full of punchy hooks and punchy lyrics that'll get stuck in your head on repeat. It's one of those albums that you're likely to immediately fall in love with and keep coming back to it. And the album cover is *chef's kiss* so good! It captures what it's like to listen to music.

[@assboi]

Get to Heaven has to be hands down one of the best modern rock releases. It is in my top 5 favorite albums since I first heard it back in 2016. Absolutely love it.

[@TooAwesomeReviews]

This guy has been able to expand my music taste almost every time literally shown me so much new stuff

[@Middle8]

I love what I do

[@jcnot9712]

Before clicking, I thought the title was you yelling at me to have a more well-rounded taste in music.

[@ScrewyLoops]

Just caught them live last night and the energy they have is unparalleled! Such a fun time. Great video by the way, I've subscribed 😁👍

[@Middle8]

I’ve been seeing their live shows on Insta and they look like a blast in the UK 🔥 Everyone is chanting tracks and it’s beautiful. I need a NA tour!

[@ScrewyLoops]

100% 🔥 hopefully very soon! 👍👍

[@mymistake8214]

No reptiles has become one of my favourite songs of all time, it provides me with so much comfort

[@laurenfletcher8537]

I love how they always close their shows with this song (well, every time I've seen them they have).

[@joshface04]

Went and saw them last night at the Roundhouse in London. Not only are their studio releases great, but they can actually perform as a live band and put on a great show. All the best British acts come from Manchester, and these guys are no exception.

[@TFNHawkeye]

Been a minute since I watched and wow was I surprised to be able to put a face to the voice. Super happy to see your still creating and happy to see you covering an incredible band!

[@Middle8]

Thanks for checking back in, missed you

[@eewahnah]

I really appreciated seeing them live 9 years ago, and to be honest, Jon's vocals were so crystalline, definitely more refined. What also kept my interest peaked for them have been the visuals and the directorial input by Jon, from him learning to work with glitch art to 3D, and now artificial intelligence.

[@1stargazer12]

Learned about them when Jeremy Prichard filled in on bass for Foals on their 2019 tour. Decided to check them out because of the hype the Foals community was giving. Yes the vocals are an acquired taste, but it was also the thing that brought me in even more. Really solid writing, and catchy hooks, interesting ideas. And yes, I will bring up foals until someone does a video / essay on them

[@terratom5268]

I'm off to go see foals in April and everything everything is supporting them

[@1stargazer12]

@@terratom5268 I’m jealous. No European acts that I like are touring in the US right now or this year at all. I was supposed to see Foals and Local Natives in may of 2020 on 2 back to back dates. Gutted when the canceled.

[@imamountainheadtoo]

Dude yes, EE and Foals are both absolutely incredible and underappreciated bands!

[@LovenArtiste]

I absolutely love them. So happy you’re doing this!

[@mattkraig]

Agreed! Spotify randomly showed me them a month or so ago after listening to Foals. Man, do I love them!

[@mastersord22]

Ive always thought itd be awesome if you made a video on The Voidz, and seeing Virtue on the wall behind you makes me want that even more now

[@cameron9385]

Literally my favourite band of all time! Amazing video on them, they deserve so much more praise than they get and I am so disappointed that I missed the call for videos on your Twitter by ONE DAY!!

[@wheverstudios]

I love this format! I hope we got more videos like this. It really gives a deeper look into your personality. Huge fan! Keep up the amazing work!

[@UaskIanswer]

Fantastic Band! GTH is one of my favorite albums, and even though the lyrics and vocals were a little jarring at first, I wouldn’t have it any other way. They’re also great guys! Met them in Pittsburgh and they were so kind.

[@VladShpiro]

Discovered them with A Fever Dream, keep coming back ever since

[@eriktaira]

I had never heard of this band before watching your video. Now I’m addicted to Everything Everything. This album is a masterpiece! THANK HEAPS FOR THAT!

[@optimisticgambler3616]

Saw an advert on MTV I think for the first album years ago and the small snippets were enough to interest me and I've been hooked since.

[@zOOmer991]

Thank you for making this video, you speak for and like every Everything Everything stan. Loved it!

[@wowsuchname1939]

Glad to see these guys getting proper international recognition! Been following these guys since man alive, I’d say man alive, arc and get to heaven are the strongest but then again, could just be nostalgic. Just a great band, happy to see so many in the comments saying this vid was their first proper intro to them as well :)

[@czrsink]

Saw them live at The Roundhouse in London tonight - INCREDIBLE. Last saw them on Get To Heaven tour in 2015, can't overstate how much better as a live band they have become. Awesome.

[@czrsink]

PS Look out for Pizza Boy off Raw Data Feel - it's excellent (they played it live tonight)

[@aainsley19]

Definitely my favourite band ever, every one of their albums is so unique without losing the incredible hooks that keep you going back for more. Can’t believe they’re not more famous, they deserve…everything😉

[@alezf9813]

I agree with everything (everything) you said in this video - RE-Animator was a bit of a tangent but I'm glad they're back on track. Bad friday and especially teletype is a banger! I know they're releasing a new single I think on the 28th March, so that's exciting!

[@clf400]

I wouldn't say reanimator was a tangent. Different but still very much EE

[@Chapman_Scoop]

Cannot understand this opinion on Re-Animator at all. Fever Dream was the awkward tangent. Re-Animator was the GTH successor we'd been waiting for

[@RayyanKhanRayyanKhan]

@@Chapman_Scoop Fever Dream was great. It was so dark but still as catchy as G2H. They're all equally unique and amazinggg

Thanks for bringing this band to my attention man. I was kinda becoming worn out on music for some reason, but here comes your video and now i'm on the hype train for their new album. Can't stop listening to their songs

Seeing them live in a week! Cannot wait.

[@natashacabrera3754]

Hey! Fun new format, Frank! It was great to see you tell us what you've loved about Everything Everything. I haven't listened to them but I will check their stuff out now! Speaking of British art pop, would you ever be up for talking about Wild Beasts? I'd absolutely adore getting your perspective!

[@ISMFOFish]

first song i heard was Distant Past, and was instantly confused. immediately checked out the album after and was hooked. super hyped for Raw Data Feel!!

[@1687angle]

Thank you for featuring them! I discovered them back in 2012 when I heard cough cough from iTunes (free song). It's been 10 years and I've seen them live ONCE. I really hope they come back to Canada (even in North America just to tour). I agree with most of what you said (especially the deluxe tracks off arc...no plan and distrikt are 👌👌👌) but personally, I love Man Alive. The tracks from this record need a couple of listens before you fully appreciate them. There's also an orchestra version floating around on KZbin that I deffo recommend!

[@MachineThatCreates]

I started compiling my "best album" list back in the 70s with the likes of Physical Graffiti and Peter Gabriel's Modern Love. Think of all the amazing albums since then,,GTH is in my opinion the best.62 now and I swear I have listened to it 300 times.

[@ericdobrowski5033]

I had never heard of Everything Everything before this video, but since watching it when it came out I've been listening to Get To Heaven nonstop, so thank you very much for introducing me to them!!! What a special band with an incredible sound! P.S. I like the format with you showing your face and talking directly to us. It doesn't hurt that you look good doing it!

[@chosone2]

Been a massive fan of Everything Everything since before their second album too. Get To Heaven is such an amazing album from start to finish. Re-animator has some great deeper cuts like It Was A Monstering, Lost Powers and Moonlight with some interesting chord progressions. Hyped for the upcoming album

[@JestersOrders]

You don't understand how long I've been waiting for this video

[@K3NT97]

Saw them live at Brighton on Tuesday, did not disappoint

[@annaforastieri6163]

I found then because of your Spotify activity (where it shares what people are listening too currently) a couple of years ago, the song you where playing was “cough cough” and instantly I was hooked. They became my favorite band ever and I have not stopped loving them one bit.

Yes Yes Yes!!! I was fortunate enough to see them live in my home town in Tasmania (Aus) a few years back. They're truely amazing, haven't stopped listening to them since!

[@ughaghost]

Heard about them all the way back when the official vid for My Kz Ur Bf came out and never looked back. One of the first bands i discovered 100% randomly on youtube and i was just so into them but i couldnt figure out how to get their album and at the time their were no streaming services. had to import it via amazon here in canada. But it remains my favourite of there's it's messy and divisive but it's bursting with ideas and creativity and I love that every song is so different from the last. I love that they continue to evolve with every release and I'm so happy theyre still around doing it.

[@mimthyss]

YOOO just here to say HELL YEA...!! EE are my favourite band, I love their music and listen to it regularly. It's awesome to see a video randomly pop up on my recommended appreciating their music!
