Every Us
Blending raw, communal energy with modern production, Every Us is on a mission to recapture what music feels like when it’s shared — unpolished, lived-in, and human. Inspired by real-life moments of collective voices and emotional presence, Every Us transforms group vocals into something that feels both intimate and expansive at once.
Their new single “Cavalry” perfectly captures that spirit — a song about showing up for each other, about warmth in motion, and about finding connection in a restless world.
“Cavalry” is out now.
Hi, how are you ? What's the story of Every Us ?
Fine and you? The story is mostly just us trying to recapture the feeling of people actually being in a room together without it being a corporate retreat. I spent some time living in places like Shanghai and Mumbai, listening to how communal singing actually sounds when it isn’t polished for a radio edit. Every Us is basically a project dedicated to every version of "us"- taking that raw, group-vocal energy and trying to make it work within modern production so it doesn’t just sound like a dusty field recording.
Can you take us back to the very beginning of ‘Cavalry’? How did that first come to life?
The song was a combination of two different demos, combining the “Cavalry” sample post-chorus with the hook of the chorus. We were focused on that "lived-in" texture, warm and unpolished, yet filling it with interesting feeling production ideas. We knew we wanted to capture the never-ending forward motion of NYC in the verses, and the chorus lyrics give the weightless warmth. The lyrics ended up a bit cheesy, but we liked leaning into it.
At what point did you realize this song was going to be about community and shared emotion rather than an individual story?
Probably when I realized my own story is usually just me staring at a screen. The project is built on the idea that music used to be an excuse to share a feeling, like stomping at a festival or a shared prayer. "Cavalry" stopped being about one person when we started layering the group vocals. It’s hard to feel like an "individual story" when there are six of you shouting in a room. That style is the fun part about the project, being focused on a feeling vs focusing it on expressing myself or any of us individually.
How did you build the soundscape of ‘Cavalry’ around that original, both musically and emotionally?
I approach everything as a producer first, which is really just a fancy way of saying I try to get out of my own way. We wanted it to have that sample-driven grit—nothing too shiny or "expensive" sounding. Musically, it’s just layering enough group vocals until it feels like a room full of people instead of a laptop screen.
When you talk about ‘the cavalry,’ who are those people in your life, and why did that image feel so powerful?
The image works because it’s not about a hero saving the day; it’s about a group of people who are just as tired as you are, showing up anyway.
There’s a strong idea in this song that just being present — sitting on the couch with someone — can be an act of love. Why does that feel so essential right now?
Because everything else is exhausting. We just wrote a song called "The Motions" about the slow death loop of routine and wanting to burn it all down. If the world is a "restless dirt" pile, then sitting on a couch with someone without checking your phone is basically a revolutionary act.
Every Us is built around the idea that music is a communal act. How does ‘Cavalry’ reflect the heart of this project?
It uses those group vocal arrangements we’re obsessed with to inject some soul back into the gear. It’s the "Every Us" ethos in a nutshell: taking non-traditional moments of community and turning them into a three-minute track.
For listeners who might be feeling lost, disconnected, or emotionally drained, what do you hope ‘Cavalry’ gives them?
If nothing else, I hope it sounds like exactly what they need in the moment—unpolished and warm. Or at least better than silence.
What are your thoughts on today's music industry? If you could change one thing, what would it be?
It’s going through a period of change as it always has. But it sure would be nice if we could expedite the vertical video era and get to the analog vs. AI assistant cage match.
What biggest lessons have you learned as artists so far ?
Find the things that inspire you, but not in a cute way, but in a systemic way. Refine as many different styles and disciplines and inputs that inspire you as possible, not in a cute way but in a systemic way. Collect as much as you can so you can stay as inspired as possible for as much time as possible.
That’s what allows you to create and finish as much music as possible, for its own sake.
What are your goals for 2026?
Get the next EP out and refine our live set so that it feels like it can fully capture the energy on the recorded records. Come to our headline show on April 17th at Pianos and tell us how we did.
