As Everything Unfolds are gearing up for the release of their highly-anticipated new album, DID YOU ASK TO BE SET FREE?, on April 10th via Century Media.
Today sees the release of new single, ‘DENIAL’. “Denial is the hardest thing to watch someone go through,” shares Charlie Rolfe. “You can say or do nothing that will make them realise the horrible situation they’re in, you see small moments of clarity where they’re screaming out for help but they fall back into denial. It’s their closest friend, their comfort. […]”
As Everything Unfolds are proud to announce the release date for their new album, ‘DID YOU ASK TO BE SET FREE?’, on April 10th via Century Media.
To mark the announcement, today also sees the release of a new single, ‘GASOLINE’. ‘Gasoline is a story about that unquantifiable and confusing human bond you get with someone else,” explains Charlie Rolfe. “That twin flame sensation, that mutual connection with an unknown person, almost like you were destined to be in each other’s lives. During this song it explores an explosive connection, the thought process, the denial in wanting it and the need to turn away from it, even though it feels wrong, you desperately try to keep hold of your life path, ignoring this fated sensation, how heartbreaking and soul destroying it can be. This idea tied in so neatly with the concept of Count Dracula and Mina’s relationship from Bram Stoker’s Dracula, that otherworldly, toxic and destined love. Similar to Set In Flow, we used the story to visually inspire the music video, to which shots from the video are homages to moments in the 1994 film.’
DID YOU ASK TO BE SET FREE? is a deeply personal record shaped by grief, trauma, escapism and the slow, uncomfortable process of confronting reality. Written across a period of profound upheaval, the album documents a journey from emotional safety and creative flow into loss, numbness and disorientation, before gradually finding movement again. Framed around the idea of maladaptive daydreaming and fantasy as both refuge and trap, the songs explore addiction, self-sacrifice, burnout, fractured relationships and the question of whether freedom is something to be desired or feared. Drawing inspiration from cinema, literature and subconscious writing, the record shifts sonically and lyrically as time passes, mirroring real change rather than resisting it. The result is an album that does not offer neat resolution, but instead captures the fragile, ongoing act of learning how to exist, grieve and continue.

As Everything Unfolds, who recently announced their signing to Century Media, have today released a brand-new single, ‘WHAT YOU WANTED’, featuring Dani Winter-Bates from Bury Tomorrow.
Speaking of ‘WHAT YOU WANTED’, vocalist Charlie Rolfe says, Over the last 2 years, I have watched various people in my life struggle with addiction issues, mostly related to alcohol. It’s painful and difficult to watch your most beloved people in your life destroy themselves every single day, and not be able to help them. You find it frustrating not being able to help them, not being to do anything, and being angry at their lack of empathy for the pain they put you through every day.
She continues, I found a lot of relatable things in the 1980’s film The Shining which is famously seen as an allegory for Alcoholism, with Jack’s family being concerned for his health, his wellbeing, seeing him in slow decline. His family are frustrated with the situation he put them in alongside being terrified of him when he is the worst version of himself. It made me realise that I was often frustrated and terrified on that person and felt like I was living in my own Overlook hotel at times, trying to desperately save that person, but also sometimes the best thing to do is to just get out. I used this world as a creative vessel to tell my own story.

As Everything Unfolds, who recently announced their signing to Century Media, have today released a brand new single, ‘POINT OF VIEW’, hot on the heels of ‘SET IN FLOW’, released earlier this summer.
Speaking of ‘POINT OF VIEW’, vocalist Charlie Rolfe says, “you give everything you have, your whole being, your whole life, to help someone but it’s never enough if they don’t want to help themselves. I really struggled to understand how someone close to me couldn’t see my point of view in the awful situation we were in. They were angry when I helped, they were angry when I gave them space, they were angry when I stayed, they were angry when I left.
She continues, “it destroyed my confidence and my self worth having to live in an environment where nothing I ever did was good enough. It hurts deeply to watch what can only be described as a car crash in slow motion, being unable to stop it but just having the strength to walk away and value your own mental health, your own sanity helped me gain back a small amount of those parts of me I lost. I really hope that some day, that person can listen to this song, and truly understand what it was like to be in that situation from my point of view.”

AS EVERYTHING UNFOLDS are pleased to announce their signing to Century Media. To mark the news, the band have returned with a brand new single, ‘SET IN FLOW’.
Speaking of ‘SET IN FLOW’, front woman Charlie Rolfe says, “this song was written directly from the perspective of a replicant/non-human, starting off at the beginning of the song being told who/what they are: a carbon copy of another. Eventually we follow them wanting to distance themselves from what they were, slowly becoming confident and comfortable in their uniqueness learning how to be human, even reflecting on their previous existence in anger, being kept in the dark about their unique consciousness.”
