In celebration of Brit it-band Everything Everything’s debut album Man Alive, I wanted to share my favorite track Photoshop Handsome from the LP. The album was released August 30th in the UK (grab it here if you have a Great Britain iTunes) but we’ll have to wait a little longer in North America. This should really be a review of the album, however due to my spectacularly rotten reviewing abilities, I’ll talk about a few songs instead. Happy?
When compared to the chaotic MY KZ, UR BF, Photoshop Handsome is more in line with the rest of the album in the sense that it stays strong past the chorus. MY KZ, UR BF has a spectacular chorus but loses some of its power through out the final few versus. Grum did an excellent job cleaning it up (it has literally been on repeat for weeks) while James Rutledge plays with the original’s obscurity. You really need to check out both remixes, they are absolutely spectacular.
