Mancunian art rock quartet Everything Everything have announced their seventh studio record, Mountainhead. Due to reach our ears on Friday, 1st March 2024, the album announcement comes with the arrival of lead single ‘Cold Reactor’, which you can take for a spin below.
“In another world, society has built an immense mountain,” frontperson Jonathan Higgs said about the new LP in a press statement. “To make the mountain bigger, they must make the hole they live in deeper and deeper. All of society is built around the creation of the mountain, and a mountain religion dominates all thought.”

Higgs continued, “At the top of the mountain is rumoured to be a huge mirror that reflects endlessly recurring images of the self, and at the bottom of the pit is a giant golden snake that is the primal fear of all believers. A ‘Mountainhead’ is one who believes the mountain must grow no matter the cost and no matter how terrible it is to dwell in the great pit. The taller the mountain, the deeper the hole.”
