British art-rockers Everything Everything have released a new album, Mountainhead, out today via BMG. In honor of the release day, they shared his fourth single, “Enter the Mirror,” via a music video. Also, now that the album is out, you can stream it here and read our review of it. Frontman Jonathan Higgs directed the video alongside Kit Monteith. Check it out below, followed by a stream of the album. Read our review of Mountainheadwhich we published on Wednesday, here.
Higgs said of the new song in a press release: “'Enter The Mirror' is a song about friendship in the afterlife. The video was shot in a Welsh forest and features puppetry and a magic mirror.”
Everything Everything features frontman Jonathan Higgs, Jeremy Pritchard (bass, keyboards), Michael Spearman (drums) and Alex Robertshaw (lead guitar, keyboards).
Previously the band shared Mountainheadhis first single, “Cold Reactor”, via a music video. “Cold Reactor” was one of the songs of the week. They then shared his second single, “The Mad Stone,” which was also on our song of the week list. They then shared his third single, “The End of the Contender,” via a music video (it also landed on our songs of the week list).
Mountainhead is the quick sequel to 2022 Sense of raw data, which was an album created with the help of artificial intelligence (AI). Produced by Robertshaw Mountainhead with his producing partner Tom Fuller.
Explaining the themes behind the album and its title, Higgs said in a previous press release: “In another world, society has built an immense mountain. To make the mountain bigger, they have to make the hole they live in deeper and deeper. All society is built around the creation of the mountain, and a mountain religion dominates every thought. At the top of the mountain is rumored to be a huge mirror that reflects endlessly repeating images of the self, and at the bottom of the pit is a giant golden snake that is the primary fear of all believers. A “Mountainhead” is one who believes that the mountain must grow no matter the cost, and no matter how terrible it is to live in the big pit. The higher the mountain, the deeper the hole.”
