FOURTH BEST INDIANA ALBUM ’08 (NUVO magazine)!

“Like the Nuggets compilations of obscure garage rock bands from the ‘60s and ’70s, Everything, Now! explores different territory on each track from their new record, managing to sound like — to use some less obscure bands as points of comparison — The Kinks, ? and the Mysterians, Procul Harum, The Who and The Bonzo Dog Band before they’re through. The thing about those collections is that rabid collectors sifted through a lot of dross to find songs with decent hooks and an ineffable (and irreproducible) energy. That E, N! can construct this kind of pastiche all by themselves and leave very few throwaways is all the more impressive.”

“Spatially Severed is Everything, Now!‘s fifth full-length release, and as the follow-up to the band’s first misfire (Ugly Magic) it feels like a return to the band’s roots. Everything, Now!‘s first true masterpiece was Bible Universe, but Spatially Severed is an improvement even on that. Like all great albums, it doesn’t just exist. It breathes.

A lot of the credit here is due to Tyler Watkins… [he] does a good job of tastefully adding embellishments to the band’s arrangements. From the swirling atmospherics on “The Shelter” to the warm, inviting presence of ballads like “Brother of the Prodigal Son,” Watkins has brought this band to life. But the true stars of this record are the band members themselves. For the first time in a while, the band wrote, rehearsed and recorded as a unit, rather than as a Jon Rogers-directed solo project. And they sound lethal.
