Back To Old House

Originating at the turn of the 1980s as a leader of the lite-jazz movement, Everything but the Girl became an unlikely success story more than a decade later, emerging at the vanguard of the fusion between pop and electronica. Founded in 1982 by Tracey Thorn and Ben Watt, both of them were already signed independently to the Cherry Red label; Thorn was a member of the sublime Marine Girls, while Watt had issued several solo singles and also collaborated with Robert Wyatt.

Everything but the Girl debuted in 1982 with a samba interpretation of Cole Porter's 'Night and Day.' The single was a success on the U.K. independent charts. The duo went on hiatus soon after. Everything but the Girl's own beguiling 1984 debut, Eden, followed on the heels of the single 'Each and Every One,' a U.K. Top 40 hit. With 1996's brilliant Walking Wounded, Everything but the Girl dove headfirst into electronica, crafting sophisticated, assured excursions into trip-hop and drum'n'bass. In 1999, the duo reappeared with Temperamental. Back to Mine was issued by Ultra in spring 2001.
