Boiler Room 4:3 :
“Witness the evolution and creation of Everything Is Recorded's Mercury nominated debut album with this visually alluring film, exclusively airing on 4:3. The intergenerational collective are driven by a spirit of sound system inspired collaboration and experimentation and this open door, keep-the-tapes-running spirit is vividly captured here.
The film features exclusive interviews with project leader Richard Russell and his collaborators, and a cinematic documentation of their debut live shows.”
It’s Nice That :
“The visuals enhance the visceral spirit of the album, the aesthetic variation weaves together film stills, low-tech recordings with highly produced interviews to create a patchwork of a film that captures the essence of a collaborative album”.
VICE :
“Ultimately, by the film’s end, it is evident that the project goes beyond music, and into something deeper—about the mechanisms of human interaction, fulfillment, life, and the moments we live through, big and small.”
