Everybody Is Fantastic

Everybody Is Fantastic cover art

The debut from the acclaimed Cork-born duo juxtaposes Cathal Coughlan's biting, cynically deadpan lyricism with Sean O'Hagan's pristine, Brian Wilson-indebted pop arrangements. The record elegantly masks its profound lyrical bitterness behind sophisticated synthesizers and jangly acoustic guitars. It established the template for the band's unique brand of polished but venomous alternative pop.
