Everything
But
The
Girl
-
aka
EBTG
-
was
formed
in
1982
by
singer-songwriter-musicians
Tracey
Thorn
and
Ben
Watt.
Their
debut
single
was
a
stark
jazz-folk
cover
of
Cole
Porter's
Night
and
Day.
Acclaimed
for
their
tender-tough
lyrics,
Thorn’s
unique
voice
and
Watt’s
arrangements,
they
released
a
string
of
UK
gold
albums
throughout
the
1980s
experimenting
with
jazz,
guitar
pop,
orchestral
wall-of-sound
and
drum-machine
soul.
1990
saw
their
breakthrough
in
America
with
the
radio
hit,
Driving.
In
1992
their
world
tour
was
abandoned
when
Ben
was
dramatically
admitted
to
hospital
with
a
life-threatening
auto-immune
disease
from
which
he
nearly
died.
The
story
is
captured
in
his
acclaimed
memoir,
Patient.
The
pair
returned
with
the
million-selling
ardent
folk-soul
of
Amplified
Heart
(1994).
The
album
includes
their
biggest
hit,
Missing,
after
New
York
DJ-producer
Todd
Terry’s
remix
unexpectedly
made
the
leap
from
heavy
club
play
to
global
radio
success
(#2,
US
Hot
100;
#
3
UK
Top
40).
It
was
followed
by
the
sparkling
Walking
Wounded
(1996,
#4
UK
Album
Chart),
brimming
with
sounds
and
grooves
from
the
mid
90s
electronic
scene.
Spawning
four
UK
Top
40
hits,
it
became
the
band’s
first
platinum
album.
After
Temperamental
(1999),
the
duo
chose
to
quit
on
a
high.
Tracey
focused
on
family
life
away
from
the
spotlight
before
returning
with
a
run
of
solo
albums
and
best-selling
autobiographical
books.
Ben
moved
into
DJing
and
remixing,
and
launched
the
respected
electronic
label,
Buzzin'
Fly.
He
returned
to
his
singer-songwriter
roots
with
a
trilogy
of
solo
albums
from
2014-2020.
In
November
2022
Everything
But
The
Girl
announced
they
had
recorded
a
new
studio
album
-
the
first
for
over
two
decades
-
set
for
release
in
spring
2023.
