Here Comes Everybody is the second studio album by Australian indie rock band Spacey Jane, released on 24 June 2022 via AWAL. Written through the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, its pensive lyrics are reflective of anxieties at the time, and throughout the youth of frontman Caleb Harper. Produced mostly by Konstantin Kersting, Here Comes Everybody marks a sonic departure from their debut, Sunlight (2020).

Preceded by the double platinum lead single "Lots of Nothing", as well as five other singles which all had notable placements in the Triple J Hottest 100 of 2021 and 2022, Here Comes Everybody peaked at number one on the ARIA charts. The album's release was also supported by two Australian tours in March and August 2022 respectively, as well as a record store tour and an international circuit extending into 2023. At the 2022 ARIA Music Awards, Here Comes Everybody was nominated for Best Rock Album, and Australian Album of the Year at the J Awards. In 2024, the album was certified gold by the Australian Recording Industry Association for selling 35,000 units.

Background

In June 2020, Spacey Jane released their debut studio album, Sunlight. It peaked at number two on the ARIA Albums chart and was supported by the Sunlight Tour from March 2021.{{cite web |author=Brewster, Will |date=16 June 2021 |title=Spacey Jane renew global record deal with AWAL |url=https://themusicnetwork.com/spacey-jane-awal/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210616043125/https://themusicnetwork.com/spacey-jane-awal/ |archive-date=16 June 2021 |access-date=19 June 2021 |work=The Music Network}}{{Cite web |last=Gallagher |first=Alex |date=1 February 2021 |title=Spacey Jane announce 'Sunlight' Australian tour |url=https://www.nme.com/en_au/news/music/spacey-jane-announce-sunlight-australian-tour-2869984 |access-date=26 April 2023 |website=NME |language=en-AU}} The band's popularity grew throughout the year after their triple-platinum single "Booster Seat" polled at number two in the Triple J Hottest 100 of 2020.{{Cite web |last=Newstead |first=Al |date=23 January 2021 |title=Spacey Jane 'Booster Seat': Behind the Hottest Australian Song of 2020 |url=https://www.abc.net.au/triplej/news/hottest-100-behind-spacey-jane-booster-seat-australian-2-song/13086086 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220831102851/https://www.abc.net.au/triplej/news/hottest-100-behind-spacey-jane-booster-seat-australian-2-song/13086086 |archive-date=31 August 2022 |access-date=9 December 2022 |publisher=Triple J (Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC))}}{{Cite web |last=McArthur |first=Bridget |date=6 December 2022 |title=Spacey Jane's slow, fast, messy rise to fame |url=https://beat.com.au/spacey-janes-slow-fast-messy-rise-to-fame/ |access-date=18 March 2023 |website=Beat Magazine |language=en-AU}} They signed to drummer Kieran Lama's new management company Anybody in February 2021,{{cite web |author=Caleb |first=Triscari |date=12 February 2021 |title=Spacey Jane Signs to Drummer Kieran Lama's New Management Company, Anybody |url=https://themusicnetwork.com/spacey-jane-management-kieran-lama/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210212030914/https://themusicnetwork.com/spacey-jane-management-kieran-lama/ |archive-date=12 February 2021 |access-date=16 June 2021 |work=The Music Network}} and renewed their global record deal with AWAL in June, with marketing director Ben Godding saying Spacey Jane were ready to "break through on a global scale", concluding "there's no better or bigger band in Australia right now".

Production

Before Sunlight had even released in June 2020, frontman Caleb Harper began writing material for the band's next album in spare time from COVID-19 tour cancellations.{{cite web |author=Martin, Josh |date=8 June 2020 |title=Spacey Jane are the Fremantle garage rock optimists letting the Sunlight in |url=https://www.nme.com/en_au/features/spacey-jane-sunlight-album-interview-2682369/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201028025642/https://www.nme.com/en_au/features/spacey-jane-sunlight-album-interview-2682369/ |archive-date=28 October 2020 |access-date=10 August 2021 |work=NME Australia}} He later revealed that "the lack of touring could influence [the band's] new material", and that their future live performances would be "less of a rock show", instead being "the songs for what they are."

The album was almost completely written by January 2021, with some recording also done.{{cite web |author=Martin, Josh |date=29 January 2021 |title=Spacey Jane say their second album is "almost completely" written |url=https://www.nme.com/en_au/news/music/spacey-jane-say-their-second-album-is-almost-completely-written-2867372/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210129000557/https://www.nme.com/en_au/news/music/spacey-jane-say-their-second-album-is-almost-completely-written-2867372/ |archive-date=29 January 2021 |access-date=11 June 2021 |work=NME Australia}} By the end of March, Harper revealed to the Honi Soit that the band had almost finished tracking.{{cite web |author=Raines, Amelia |date=28 March 2021 |title=Sunlight and hazy introspection: In conversation with Spacey Jane |url=http://honisoit.com/2021/03/sunlight-and-hazy-introspection-in-conversation-with-spacey-jane/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210328081828/http://honisoit.com/2021/03/sunlight-and-hazy-introspection-in-conversation-with-spacey-jane/ |archive-date=28 March 2021 |access-date=21 June 2021 |work=Honi Soit}} On 9 August 2021, they revealed on social media that the album was fully recorded, and had been produced alongside Konstantin Kersting at Empire Studios, Brisbane.{{cite web |author=Gallagher, Alex |date=9 August 2021 |title=Spacey Jane have finished recording their second album |url=https://www.nme.com/en_au/news/music/spacey-jane-have-finished-recording-their-second-album-3014380/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210810004200/https://www.nme.com/en_au/news/music/spacey-jane-have-finished-recording-their-second-album-3014380/ |archive-date=10 August 2021 |access-date=10 August 2021 |work=NME Australia}} However, it was known at the time that the band weren't releasing it until at least 2022.{{cite web |author=Collins, Simon |date=25 June 2021 |title=Spacey Jane release new single "Lots of Nothing" |url=https://www.perthnow.com.au/entertainment/music/spacey-jane-release-new-single-lots-of-nothing-ng-b881910262z |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210625153958/https://www.perthnow.com.au/entertainment/music/spacey-jane-release-new-single-lots-of-nothing-ng-b881910262zec6fe08f8536312b/ |archive-date=25 June 2021 |access-date=7 October 2021 |work=PerthNow}}

Title and artwork

The album title, Here Comes Everybody, is taken from the working title of Wilco's 2002 album Yankee Hotel Foxtrot. Harper personally sought permission from Wilco frontman Jeff Tweedy to adopt the name, which "tied into what [he] wanted to talk about on the record".{{Cite web |last=Newstead |first=Al |date=2022-02-10 |title=Spacey Jane says new album inspired by young Australians' anxiety over COVID and climate change |url=https://www.abc.net.au/triplej/news/musicnews/spacey-jane-here-comes-everybody-interview-album-covid-anxiety/13747690 |access-date=2022-05-22 |website=triple j |language=en}} Wilco is one of Spacey Jane's biggest musical influences.{{Cite web |last=Bec, Jacqui and Bon |date=2 June 2022 |title=Spacey Jane – From the West |url=https://www.eatyourwater.com.au/blogs/friday-feels/spacey-jane-interview-and-gallery |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221027062002/https://www.eatyourwater.com.au/blogs/friday-feels/spacey-jane-interview-and-gallery |archive-date=27 October 2022 |access-date=2 December 2022 |website=Eat Your Water}}

Perth photographer Matt Sav shot the album cover which features the four band members standing isolated on a sand dune.{{Cite web |date=24 June 2022 |title=Spacey Jane |url=https://gesturesystems.studio/project/spacey-jane |access-date=28 June 2023 |website=Gesture Systems |language=en-US}} Harper originally wanted the image to feature "1000 people all the way up a sand dune, lit up by a flood light and fading into black", but this idea was too unrealistic.{{Cite web |last=Capulong |first=Izzy |date=31 May 2023 |title=Here Comes Spacey Jane |url=http://officemagazine.net/here-comes-spacey-jane |access-date=28 June 2023 |website=Office Magazine |language=en}} The cover for the deluxe edition is taken from the same shoot.

Lyricism

When writing for the album, Harper took a less introspective approach to his lyricism. In comparison to Sunlight, which deeply discusses his personal experiences, Here Comes Everybody is written from a generational perspective, and aims to capture "a collective experience of anxiety and uncertainty."

Harper explained "Lots of Nothing" is written about "trying to accept all the parts of yourself, good and bad, before you are able to work on the person that you want to become".{{Cite web |last=Fuamoli |first=Sose |date=24 June 2021 |title=Spacey Jane return with their first music in over a year, 'Lots of Nothing' |url=https://www.abc.net.au/triplej/news/spacey-jane-return-with-new-single-lots-of-nothing/13263206 |access-date=5 February 2023 |website=Triple J |language=en-AU}} He admitted in an interview with Apple Music that depression as a lyrical theme runs throughout "half of the album", particularly in tracks like "Clean My Car" and "Haircut" – the latter using personal anecdote to explain things the frontman did to "reinvent myself and pull myself out of a state of mind after a breakup".{{Citation |title=Here Comes Everybody by Spacey Jane |date=2022-06-24 |url=https://music.apple.com/au/album/here-comes-everybody/1604780038 |access-date=2022-06-17 |language=en-AU}} Similarly, "It's Been a Long Day", one of the record's most sonically desolate tracks, follows Harper's emotions falling in and out of a relationship and battles with depersonalisation. The song closes with Harper's admission that "I really loved you".{{Cite web |last=Gill |first=Jack |date=12 July 2022 |title=Spacey Jane on Here Comes Everybody |url=https://therodeomag.com/2022/07/12/spacey-jane-on-here-comes-everybody/ |access-date=5 February 2023 |website=The Rodeo Magazine |language=en-US}}{{cite web |author=Rose, Anna |date=8 April 2022 |title=Spacey Jane release tender new single, "It's Been a Long Day" |url=https://www.nme.com/en_au/news/music/spacey-jane-release-tender-new-single-its-been-a-long-day-3200833/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220410033359/https://www.nme.com/en_au/news/music/spacey-jane-release-tender-new-single-its-been-a-long-day-3200833/ |archive-date=10 April 2022 |access-date=10 April 2022 |work=NME Australia}}

"Lunchtime" was written as Harper was experiencing "severe hangover anxiety and feeling extremely hopeless", with the track's fast and upbeat instrumentation directly contradicting the "somber lyrics and themes". "Head Above" concerns Harper's broken relationship with his parents, and leaving home at the age of 17. Closing tracks "Yet" and "Pulling Through" are relatively "hopeful", with Harper saying that "after all these stories and experiences I've had, it's gonna be OK".{{Cite web |last=Bruce |first=Dave |date=19 May 2022 |title=Spacey Jane shares new single and video Hardlight + Australian Album Tour announced |url=https://amnplify.com.au/spacey-jane-shares-new-single-and-video-hardlight-australian-album-tour-announced-second-studio-album-here-comes-everybody-out-friday-24-june/ |access-date=18 June 2022 |website=Amnplify}}

Writing for NME, Caleb Triscari wrote the album offered "promising development from Spacey Jane", praising Harper for the fuller use of his vocal range, and the improved instrumentation compared to the band's debut. However, Triscari was critical about the band's reliance on the "verse-chorus structure", and also hoped their future work would explore more original themes.

Shaad D'Souza for The Guardian gave the album a negative review, calling it "painfully sophomoric indie rock". He claimed the songwriting was uninspired, unmemorable, and that "musically, it sounds like so many other records released by Australian indie bands in the past decade". Conversely, Mitch Mosk of Atwood Magazine praised its relatable lyrics, concluding "Here Comes Everybody is unapologetically dynamic and charismatically passionate".{{Cite web |last=Mosk |first=Mitch |date=24 June 2022 |title='Here Comes Everybody': Inside Spacey Jane's Spirited, Resilient, & Triumphant Sophomore Album |url=https://atwoodmagazine.com/sjhc-spacey-jane-here-comes-everybody-album-interview-music-feature/ |access-date=29 June 2023 |website=Atwood Magazine |language=en-US}}
