Die britische Band Everything Everything hat sich eine eigene Nische erspielt, die man wohl Math-Pop nennen könnte. Verwandt zu den Foals (aber weniger Rock), Black Midi (aber weniger Punk) oder Glass Animals (aber weniger POP) spielen Everything Everything vertrackte Songs, die ständig unruhig von einem Bein aufs andere tippeln, aber auch keine Angst vor größeren Refrains haben. Die Band formuliert ihre Haltung so: „to avoid cliche, or the cliches expected of white men with guitars from Manchester (…) highly stylised and deracinated – we’re influenced by everything except 12-bar blues. 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. And we all love good honest pop. We’re a rock band as far as we’re concerned.“ Fünf ihrer sechs Alben sind in Großbritannien in die Album-Top-Ten gechartet
