Everyone You Know are a British music duo known for their sharp, narrative-driven lyrics. Also known as EYK, the brothers have quickly become a voice for a generation who are proudly living for the weekend. Their debut EP ‘Cheer Up Charlie’ was released in 2018, followed by the ‘Just For The Times’ mixtape in 2021. They have collaborated with internationally renowned artists and had their music featured on FIFA 20, and have performed at major festivals including Reading & Leeds, Roskilde and Boomtown.
Delivering a weekend filled with suspense, euphoric dance floors and bittersweet comedowns, the brothers crafted ‘Ain’t Smiled in Ages’ in their home studio, a space built by their dad. Kicking off the album earlier this year, their ‘Think About His Mother’ single captured the tension and potential violence of a chaotic night out. From a chain-smoking friend to a regretful decision, Rhys delivers a raw, spoken-word performance over Harvey’s atmospheric production. ‘Waiting,’ tapped into an upbeat tempo that played host to the 90’s classic sample CeCe Peniston’s ‘Finally’ and the album’s emotional centrepiece, ‘Hoodies & Hats’, addresses the pain of loss and the ways men cope with grief, underpinned by vulnerable production and candid lyrics.
Of the album, Rhys and Harvey note that: “Ain’t Smiled In Ages is an album of moments. Highs and lows. Happy and sad. Euphoric and high energy. We all have our own ways of coping. The album is about people you might look at and judge but underneath they’re great people.”
EYK’s brand new record, out now, flawlessly showcases the brothers’ naturally unfiltered approach and nostalgic rhythmic delivery. Co-written with industry heavyweights David Sneddon and Theo Hutchcraft, ‘Ain’t Smiled in Ages’ explores the highs and lows of suburban life, offering both moments of unbridled joy and an underlying sense of darkness.
