Album
"Raw Data Feel" is the sixth studio album by British band Everything Everything, released on 20 May 2022 through Infinity Industries, the band's own imprint. The album was produced by the band's guitarist Alex Robertshaw and Tom A.D. Fuller. The album was preceded by 4 singles, "Bad Friday" (7 February), "Teletype" (9 March), "I Want a Love Like This" (28 March) and "Pizza Boy" (4 May). The album deals with the theme of experiencing trauma and relying on technology to cope with it. Feeling constrained by his reputation as a "political singer" and wanting to "abandon the human brain", frontman and lead songwriter Jonathan Higgs envisioned a more inward, less sociopolitical approach by using characters to play the experience out. With assistance from Mark Hanslip, a musician and researcher at the University of York's Contemporary Music Research Centre, Higgs developed an AI bot dubbed "Kevin", named after a recurring character in the album, to compose song lyrics generatively. Higgs fed it four different sources of information before compiling and tweaking the results into usable material: 1) LinkedIn's terms and conditions 2) The epic poem "Beowulf" 3) 400,000 posts from the message board 4chan 4) The sayings of Confucius Ultimately, the bot contributed roughly 5% of the album's lyrics and a song title (Software Greatman), receiving a songwriting credit in the process, and has also provided the imagery for the album's artwork and promotional campaign.
