With its ever so slightly grating falsettos and R&B-influenced structures, Arc is built with daytime radio in mind as much as the indie disco

Pitchfork
Their general sense of drama and vulnerability couched within a pretty masculine idiom-- guitar rock, to be reductive-- brings to mind the way Queen duped a nation into pounding a masculine chest with a feminine fist

Everything Everything continue to throw everything, and I mean everything, into the mix. It’s a mixed bag – banding between the overbearing and the inspired – but they are starting to dig a little deeper, which can only be a good thing
