Albums of the Decade - 71. Everything Everything - Man Alive (2010)

71. EVERYTHING EVERYTHING - MAN ALIVE (2010) 

This band were a multi-coloured lightning bolt that came from nowhere in 2010, with this debut of insanity, syncopation and flamboyance. The falsetto vocals of Jonathan Higgs play on one going insane; see 2:07 in, on second track "Qwerty Finger:"

"I can't Let you turn yourself off oooh..." 
...which has got the kind of awkwardness in the title that only the British could muster in a spewy imagination that constantly has a battery in its leg before warbling: "To draw asunder every leper curtain, would be a hail of every flower to ash Ah!!!" - well that's according to one lyrics site. Every. Day. Life. Is. Fucking. Weird. And. We. Should. Acknowledge. It

As the decade comes to a close, and we lay in a quagmire of uncertainty, it's a pity that we can't jog back nine years and yank this out as a soundtrack to show how fractured the inner-soul was before it exploded outwards into vanity and massive societal meltdown. (editors note - especially hear the track "Photoshop Handsome")
