Album Review: Crystal Fighters - Everything Is My Family

Nic Addenbrooke

"Best described as fisting the air through a life affirming peyote journey."

Everything Is My Family is a beautiful sentiment; one big affirmation buoyed by Central American rhythms and the laser-etched romanticism of a Nicholas Sparks novel being read through a vocoder.

The whole thing has a bit of a spring break forever vibe. Live For You explores a boys' longing for his love, All Night is about the liberation of love, Good Girls laments the loss of its titular Macguffins, In Your Arms is a club banger for hugs, Living The Dream is, well... a pattern emerges that leads to a sonic teenage pining best described as fisting the air through a life affirming peyote journey.
