Vocalist Charlie Rolfe discusses the meaning of the single:
“Ever feel like you’re being pulled down? Like someone is your biggest supporter yet your biggest critic, it’s a confusing and conflicting feeling. ‘You’re letting me shout out, while you’re telling me to slow down?’ Sometimes people will try to manipulate you into thinking they’re your biggest supporter, but jealousy can lead those same people to drag you down leaving you confused. When charged with platform or responsibility, that weight can carry difficult tasks and burdens. Push through it and be the best version of you that you can be.”
Rolfe comments on the new album:
“The new album Ultraviolet is an open work on the thoughts and feelings surrounding us at the time. The anger, the frustration, the progress, everything on show, nothing to hide. Darkroom practice is something that has been a large part of my creative path, finding links between the emotion in music, putting everything on display for all to listen and exposing a colour photograph, putting it on display for all to see. Only when you are exposed to ultraviolet light can you see life in full colour.”
As Everything Unfolds have also announced two headline shows, to celebrate the release of Ultraviolet. The news follows their recent UK tour as special guests to Enter Shikari.
