TRACK OF THE WEEK 27/8/12 - 2/9/12

A first, as I attempt to bring a little more coherence to this here blog. Every Sunday, I'll be picking my favourite new song of the previous week. And kicking things off is Manchester indie mob Everything Everything, with their new single Cough Cough. Taken from forthcoming album Arc, due out in January 2013, this is a stonking track that demonstrates EE's Wonka-on-acid take on indie whilst showing that they have, as every good band should, evolved their sound from their first album Man Alive. It swings between a punchy percussion-driven verse and an epic, sweeping chorus, with the characteristic crazy keyboard/bass rhythms and falsettos that make EE so distinctive. Bloody great.
