After recently signing to Century Media, As Everything Unfolds unleashed their newest single, “What You Wanted”.
As Everything Unfolds
As Everything Unfolds has been making waves with their distinctive sound. They aspire to be unique and therefore ignore genre boundaries. This has worked out well for the band, amassing over 30 million streams and gaining three nominations for Heavy Music Awards, including Best Album of 2024.
What You Wanted
The band has released a brand new single in collaboration with Bury Tomorrow vocalist, Dani Winter-Bates. The song cycles between melodic verses and a catchy chorus, with heavier sections interwoven throughout.
The song was released alongside its music video, directed by Zak Pinchin. It showcases the vocalist lying upon an old TV, then takes the watcher through VHS-like scenes of the band performing and outdoor clips.
Vocalist Charlie Rolfe says, “Over the last two 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 1980s film The Shining,which is famously seen as an allegory for alcoholism, with Jack’s family being concerned for his health, his well-being, 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 realize that I was often frustrated and terrified of 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.”
