On the back of a highly successful debut album Everyone Says Hi give a taste of what’s to come with a new single.
After the release of their acclaimed self-titled debut album last year, indie-pop supergroup Everyone Says Hi are back with their first single of the new year, Just Like That. The track is taken from their sophomore album, which comes later this year.
An infectious dose of psyche-indie, Just Like That is a hazy, groove driven banger. Rich in texture, with a splash of funk and topped off by frontman Nick Hodgson’s dreamlike vocals, the track came off the back of a documentary Nick had watched on HBO. Immersing himself in Steely Dan, Michael McDonald, The Doobie Brothers and 10cc for weeks after the doc, Nick took to his home studio with the band and the outcome was an earworm that’ll live between your ears for months to come.
“We tried to dig into that romantic, dreamy atmosphere that is the mood with this kind of music,” says Nick of the single. “The thread that flows through the lyrics is new life, the fragility of life and the wisdom you’re supposed to gather as you get older. The lyrics in the chorus, ‘I can make my mind up, I don’t need to hold a sign up’ is about believing in your own opinion and not having to check it in against what’s going on on social media.”
