@girlabtvillage i missed it. i’m gutted, it’s quality. #EBTG are class

"I don't want to talk about it" - Everything But the Girl

Missed their date on #TOTP five years ago, and finally (finally!) have a big hit. Shame it's a Rod Stewart cover.

Tracey Thorn (singer, mid-cut spiky hair, oversized blue jacket, white shirt, white trousers) and Ben Watt (seated guitar player, black jacket, grey trousers, effortlessly cool) have had three albums of cult favourites, and gosh we've missed them.

EBTG

Everything but the Girl is a Brittish duo consisting of Ben Watt and Tracey Thorn. I’m not usually one for melancholy music, but for EBTG I am happily making an exception. Tracey’s lyrics are good to fantastic, her voice adds to the story by inflicting emotion way beyond the words. The stories are carried by Ben’s superb melodies, instrumentation and production. From early steps in 1984 to massive, worldwide success during the 1990s, I can warmly recommend their entire catalog.

You might have missed their 2023 release “Fuse”, be sure to check that out too.

Here’s a portrait I did of Tracey. Her lyrics and stories are right up there with Joni Mitchell and Suzanne Vega. IMHO.

‘Missing’ - Everything But The Girl

Everything But The Girl remains decades after their recordings were made some of the best music in both ballad/lounge and dance/remix.

I am so thankful for Tracey Thorn and Ben Watt.

Troubled Mind, by Everything But The Girl. Anytime I can find an EBTG song for Friday night's theme is a good time. From the first album (Amplified Heart) I really listened to of theirs - 1996 I think it was. A classic to my mind.

🎵'Cause with your troubled mind
You're like a goods train running through my life 🎵

#totp #ebtg get better every week

Yay #ebtg again on #TOTP

Which isn't to say that all music made using a sampler / groovebox is Bad Art.

Everything But The Girl's & Tracy Thorn's last few albums, for example...

#EBTG - Fuse

#Bangerz of 2023 – #6:

#EBTG (#EverythingButTheGirl) put out a new album this year, 'Fuse'. Since they are Very Old and streaming is a thing that exists, it debuted at #3 and was out of the UK top 100 within four weeks. But it did not leave *my* top 100.

'No One Knows We're Dancing' is the slowest banger about dancing ever. I love it to bits.

'Fiat Cinquecento' is the best part. I'm lying. All of the song is the best part.

#bangerz (#MassiveAttack got a Brit Award for Best British Dance Act, to which 3D reacted with a quip "clearly, I don't know how dancing works.") Blame @adamcr for the #inspo

'Angel' (unreleased except DVD… and YouTube, I guess)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hbe3CQamF8k

'Protection' feat. #TraceyThorn of #EBTG (my favourite video ever)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Epgo8ixX6Wo

'Risingson' (say "creepy")
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=85E9Q5Wx210

'Karmacoma' (say "CREEPY")

Toylike people make me boylike.

I am totally not subtooting a certain band, but "this is our best album yet" becoming "I felt like a guest vocalist on somebody else's record" is a bit of a shitty thing to say to the fans who bought it.

Unrelated – here is my favourite #EverythingButTheGirl single, 'Five Fathoms':

#AlbumOfTheWeek As we wait for the new Everything But The Girl album (21 April), why not give #BenWatt’s 2020 Storm Damage another listen? It’s so lovely. Sad for him and us that he had to postpone & then cancel his Storm Damage March 2020 tour. Will we ever see another live outing - solo or with #EBTG? #vinyl #NowPlaying
