British indie rockers Everything Everything have unveiled their latest single, “Cold Reactor,” ahead of the release of their upcoming album, Mountainhead. The band has also shared the tracklist for the anticipated album, which is set to arrive on March 1st.
Lead singer Jonathan Higgs said of the new single: “Cold Reactor is about striving for an advanced future and exponential growth at the cost of our own personal worlds and mental wellbeing. Lives lived through screens and isolation, leading to disconnected and emotionless reactions in the form of symbols.”
The accompanying music video, co-directed by Higgs and long-time collaborator Kit Monteith, sees the band members dressed in yellow uniforms as they summit a mountain and begin to tear it apart. The video complements the album’s theme of exploring how future technology might impact humanity – both positively and negatively.
The LP is centered on the concept of “Mountainhead”, described as “an alternate society in which those at the bottom of society’s ladder are forced to work relentlessly to keep its elite, at the mountain’s peak, elevated”. Higgs elaborated on the concept: “In another world, society has built an immense mountain. 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. 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.”
Mountainhead will be available to pre-save/pre-order, with tickets for the band’s UK tour (set to kick off in March) going on sale on November 3rd. Pre-sale tickets are also offered to fans who pre-order the album. See the album artwork and tracklist below.
