Noted for their eclectic sound and complex, avant-garde-inspired lyrics, the band has released seven albums to date — Man Alive (2010), Arc (2013), Get to Heaven (2015), A Fever Dream (2017), Re-Animator (2020), Raw Data Feel (2022) and Mountainhead (2024) — and has been widely critically acclaimed.

"[4] Quickly gaining attention from the music industry, the band began working with producer David Kosten (Bat for Lashes, Faultline).

"[3] BBC Music hailed the band's "brilliance" and noted "this Manchester quartet flee from any identikit indie clique, throwing ever-changing, protean sonic shapes... EE are wilfully eccentric, and endlessly entertaining, but they know more than most how to craft a song, how to make an album.

"[2] Writing in Pitchfork, Ian Cohen commented that the album was "proof that enthusiastic experimentation can't save your end product when the underlying elements are so incompatible and unappetizing" and criticized Higgs's "irritating voice".

Higgs noted that in comparison to the complexity of the songs on Man Alive, the songwriting on Arc was intended to be a simpler distillation of his ideas and a more direct expression of his emotion.

Hopefully that'll be the band that combines both modes seamlessly, as they do on Kemosabe and Armourland, a sleek piece of robo-pop that links social breakdown with the emotional barriers we all put up.".

The self-conscious straining to be regarded as innovators and iconoclasts that occasionally muddled their debut is absent here: this is a record less bothered about surface than it is about feeling...

On 17 February 2015, the band released the single "Distant Past" with Zane Lowe on BBC Radio 1 naming it the 'Hottest Record in the World'.

Higgs told Savage, "After we'd finished the record, I read the lyrics back and I realised I'd written a horror bible".

He said via a press release, "The song talks about seasons passing and getting older, so we wanted to concentrate on the Sun and make it into a kind of oppressive force – positive and life-giving but also burning and destructive.

Most of the sun effects were completed afterwards because we picked a rainy day to shoot, though we did spray everything silver in order to get some good light reflections and add to the heatproof/astronaut feel.

[37] The album was later released on 18 August 2017[38] to strong reviews, with The Guardian declaring "if pop culture continues on its dorky course, it will be only a matter of time before these nerds rule.

"[39] Marcy Donelson of AllMusic wrote: "A Fever Dream is confrontational, warped, emotionally and aurally high-contrast, and full of turmoil, but reliable in its infectiousness.

[58] Alongside the announcement they released the single "Bad Friday" with a music video directed by Kit Monteith and Jonathan Higgs.

The band incorporated text and imagery generated by artificial intelligence for the album's song titles, lyrics and artwork.

It was released alongside a music video created by Higgs, consisting of human faces generated by AI singing along to the song.

[63] It was also released to critical praise, with The Line of Best Fit writing "Through a dizzying blend of experimentation, innovation and stylistic idiosyncrasy Everything Everything have created another peerless record with Raw Data Feel, one which proves once more that the horizons the band chases are theirs and theirs alone" and giving the album a 9/10.

[66] In an interview with NME, Higgs says that the album was written and produced quickly and was intended to feature no plug-ins or effects, in reaction to Raw Data Feel.

The album features an underlying concept which imagines a world in which a society has created a mountain by digging a big hole.

[67] Everything Everything are noted for an extremely eclectic and dynamic style, with complex song construction and dense, detailed lyrics sung in a rapid-fire, falsetto delivery by Jonathan Higgs.

[68] In the Guardian, Mark Beaumont described the band as "the most intricate, streamlined merging yet of math rock's arch complexities, electronica's 80s obsession and hooks made from mobile phone interference.

"[69] Whilst Higgs' lyrics often address sociopolitical themes and the impact of late capitalism and technology on modern society, he has stated that he does not want to be defined as a "political" songwriter.

He did however note that his lyrical themes tend to be a mixture of "cold technology, modern toxicity, ancient myths and an element of prophecy".

[71] When asked about their sound in an interview with UK music blog There Goes the Fear in Leeds in October 2010, singer Jonathan Higgs replied, "We think of it as rock primarily.

"[72] Higgs has counted Nirvana, Radiohead, the Beatles, Destiny's Child, and Craig David as some of the band's very eclectic stock of influences.

We all share a huge number of basic passions like Radiohead, but we all come from different areas of popular music: jazz and funk; modern US R'n'B, prog and krautrock, post-rock/punk/hardcore.

"[4] He's noted that the band's lyrics are "almost always layered with several meanings, and play with puns, quotes or alliteration a fair amount, but never just for the sake of it.

"[4] In an interview with the Irish Times, drummer Michael Spearman said "It sounds quite cheesy, but stuff like Destiny’s Child has proven just as important as The Beatles and Radiohead.
