Get to Heaven Tracklist
Get to Heaven is the third studio album by British band Everything Everything, released 22 June 2015.
In an interview with NME, singer and writer Jonathan Higgs gave some insight into the album:
“The feeling you get from ‘Arc’ is resignation and a bleak outlook,” says Jon. “This time, from the word go, I wanted to make something that makes you get angry and want to do something it, because that’s how I was feeling. I thought, ‘you’ve done all your moping, now it’s time to get angry about it’.”
The Manchester-based four-piece went into the studio with a rule of “no calm songs”, and with Jon Hopkins’ ‘Immunity’ and Kanye West’s ‘Yeezus’ in mind. “‘Yeezus’ was the best thing I’d heard in a long time,” says Jon. “So I tried to write a lot like that. I’m performing a much more confident persona across the record, and that attitude came from ‘Yeezus’, that ‘fuck you’.”

Who did the album artwork and how does the art relate to the music itself?
The album artwork was created by New Zealand artist Andrew Archer. It’s a man melting and being clawed at by bejeweled hands, a parallel to the album’s lyrics that comment on elitism and the pitfalls of modern society.
