about
Ninety Five is the sound of drums literally collapsing under their own weight.
Matt Schulz sent the band a bunch of drum ideas, recorded in his practice space in Brooklyn. This was at the top of the 'pandemic' and already an experiment in isolation. By allowing his stage mixer to feedback, Brian, in his home studio in rural Nova Scotia, created a drone for those drums to kick their way through. Those drum signals were then split out, triggering various compressors and noise-gates. Hence the drums fight themselves as they simultaneously fight their way through the drone and the song itself. Everything is held together in mid-collapse.
The groove was further fleshed out by sampling the track, adding a guitar (that emulated yet another sample). Graham, in his home studio in Toronto, added scary tension balanced with colourful flourishes, and cut-up vocals using a home made audio-switching device. Matt added fresh drums. MORE DRUMS!!!
Ninety Five is the number on a gondola suspended in space. It's the new number by a band floating in their spaces. spacing, spaced out.

Shoegaze ist die Kunst des Dröhnens, doch „Everything Is Alive“ setzt diese Elemente nur sparsam ein. Statt Hall- und Zerr-Sounds aufzutürmen, schäumt die Musik in feinen Bläschen über.
