Everything Everything have shared a brand new song – listen to ‘Mercury & Me’ below.
The track is the second offering to be digitally released from the band’s new Record Store Day 10″ vinyl. The record’s other original track, ‘Supernormal’, arrived in March.
The 10″ also features a remix of the band’s track ‘Big Climb’ courtesy of Foals, while IOE AIE has remixed ‘Black Hyena’. Both of those original tracks appear on the band’s 2020 album ‘Re-Animator’.
The ‘Mercury & Me’ video was created by Everything Everything frontman Jonathan Higgs. Describing the process of creating the visual, he said: “The video was made in 3D using motion capture, and was my first attempt at capturing a live performance and recreating it in software. I tried to make an atmosphere that reflected the starkness of the song.”
Check it out below.
