Look out for the ‘Blue Sun’, the radiant collaborative track from Everything But The Everything.

‘Blue Sun’ is one magical collaborative track. First conceived as a bassline and guitar part by Izzy The Gent – the man behind Everything But The Everything – it was given new life by the collective efforts of Olivia Barchard on vocals, Landon Cisneros on drums and Jimmy Chen on guitar, with Rex Shelverton working on production. Mixing the attitude of Cyndy Lauper with the grit of Green Day and the laid-back haziness of Best Coast, this track is a testament to the power of collaborative musicianship and the fun that can be had in the recording studio.
