Enter Shikari, "The Sights"
The UK hard rock band Enter Shikari hadn't really been on my radar until their most recent album, but I'm loving the Everything Everything vibe of their latest singles. It's not just the sonic maximalism--squeezing a lot of different production techniques, vocal affects, and melodic hooks into a 3:20 single--that reminds me of Everything Everything. It's also the word salad of the lyrics--for instance, rhyming "petrified" with "stir-fried" and "unqualified." Or, for some reason, rhyming "Jacques Cousteau" with "Marcus Cicero" (not sure what the French explorer has to do with the Roman orator, but bonus points for using the latter's full name).
