10 Best Indie/Alternative Songs Of 2017 (So Far)

3. Desire - Everything Everything

Manchester experimentalists Everything Everything have developed a deserved reputation as critical darlings of the alternative music scene since their emergence in 2010.

Noted for their eclectic incorporation of various styles and willingness to subvert the typical pop structure, their primary influences are as far-ranging from Nirvana to Destiny's Child. Their fourth album adds more of the epic choruses found in previous tracks such as 2015's excellent Regret.

Desire, the second track released in anticipation for their fourth studio album A Fever Dream, is a pure pop banger in all its majesty. The trademark falsetto of lead singer Jonathan Higgs builds to the track's massive chorus, with repeated shouts of "Desire" undercut by the irresistable refrain: "I can't stop now."
