Everybody Is Fantastic is the debut album by Irish indie band Microdisney. The album was recorded by singer Cathal Coughlan and guitarist Sean O'Hagan, after they had relocated from Ireland to London.[1] It was released in 1984, and was largely performed by Coughlan and O'Hagan with contributions from future Microdisney members John Fell and Tom Fenner, and session musicians John McKenzie and Terry Stannard.[2]
In a review at the time or the album's release, Nick Kelly of Hot Press wrote of Everybody is Fantastic, "In case you haven't yet got the message, I think that Everybody Is Fantastic – is fantastic!".[3] The same magazine would later place the album at 36 on its list of Greatest Irish Albums.[4]
