Everything Everything detail new single full of "neurotic bollocks" and 17th century insults

The track stands out as a highlight on recently-released Top 10 album Get To Heaven.

The band also revealed that a video is "on its way".

When we spoke to frontman Jonathan Higgs about Get To Heaven in our Track By Track guide, he spoke about "Spring/Sun/Winter/Dread" at length:

"When you first hear it you might think I'm naming all the seasons, which I'm not of course, but it's this idea of the cyclical nature of growing older and becoming jaded, or part of the establishment... becoming just like all your forefathers and making all the same mistakes. I used to be much more idealistic than I am now, and I worry that I'm caring less about other people and things like that. Neurotic bollocks [laughs]. The verses deal with the fact that throughout time you always kings and paupers, mixed with some of the stuff that was happening in Israel last year with the children being killed on the beach and just how wrong that was. The end breakdown bit about the baboon is a paraphrasing of this 17th century insult - 'you are a thief and a murderer and you have stolen the face of a baboon', or something - and when I first read that, I just thought that it was the most weirdly specific insult. It sounds quite modern as well, I think, and if someone said that to me now, it'd mean just the same. The fact that such an old insult still has the same meaning now brought the whole idea of the song back to me in a very realistic way: things haven't really changed."

"Spring/Sun/Winter/Dread" is out soon, and Get To Heaven is out now.
