// LYRICS //
Call the cops and tell them what I want
My battery’s a hundred percent
It all made sense
A bomb for a body
A hammer for a head
My battery’s a hundred percent
It all made sense
All your stories are about your death
The lemmings on the way to the cliff
The brain-dead boys
Calling you a hooligan, a Border Reiver git
The boxer with a box of old shit
The big white noise
It’s all about the money now
You put the hard drive in the microwave
You antelope
You are a sack of wine
Call the cops and tell them what I want
My battery’s a hundred percent
It all made sense
Just blame it on the empire
Blame it on the empire
Blame it on the empire
Blame it on the empire
I don’t know
It’s all about the Benjamins
It's all about the wilderness for me
Tomorrow is a wonderful idea
It's the end of the contender
The end of the contender
It's the end of the contender
The end of the contender
Feeding time
Animatronic eyes
Are watching with delight
A churning mind
Gimme that rabid smile, those
Creddahornis eyes
Call the cops and tell them what I want
My battery’s a hundred percent
It all made sense
A bomb for a body
A hammer for a head
My battery’s a hundred percent
It all made sense
The end of the contender
It's the end of the contender
The end of the contender
The end of the contender

    If Mountainhead isn't at least nominated for the Mercury prize, they aren't listening. Can't see another UK act releasing an album as good as this is in 2024. There's not one 'filler' track on the whole LP. Blows my mind that EE can do something so strong and fresh sounding 7 albums in. Best band on the planet right now, nobody else can even come close. How they aren't absolutely massive I don't know. Should be filling arenas just on the strength of Mountainhead alone.

    I swear, no one makes songs about mental health and life in the current era quite like EE. It's almost impossible to describe how many of their songs resonate on a visceral level. Allowing all the space for loss, grief, heartbreak, stress about no sense of direction in life, societal pressures, depression, and impulse control issues to exist, while also being uplifting and hopeful. We're not just lonely brains trapped in our own consciousness, limited by how we can communicate outwardly what's going on inside. We're actually all in the same boat and other people also experience most of those big feelings we struggle with internally. I'm just grateful to be along for the ride with these beautiful people and their creative output. THANK YOU!

    I'v seen videos where Jonathan expresses his disdain for Coldplay. I wonder if this is a dig at Coldplay's Yellow music video, with the yellow banner behind him, or if it's just an artistic visual choice, as the yellow banner is excellent contrast to the bleak beach, as well as their baby blue outfits. In any case, excellent banger, love from the US. Edit: I just watched the other videos for this new album and I take it back lol. Seems like these color choices are an artistic choice for the message they have about living in reality and learning to abstain from the virtual. Funny enough, the way I got introduced to EE was through Coldplay. As a big fan of CP I followed them on Facebook, where Chris Martin shared the Kemosabe video from the Arc album way back in 2013. Been in love ever since!
