As Everything Unfolds have released a new single and video, DENIAL
There’s just over a month to go until their new album DID YOU ASK TO BE SET FREE?, and As Everything Unfolds are giving fans another taste…

As Everything Unfolds have shared a new single and accompanying music video, DENIAL.
The track is taken from their forthcoming album DID YOU ASK TO BE SET FREE? – which is due out on April 10 via Century Media – and as singer Charlie Rolfe explains, “Denial is the hardest thing to watch someone go through. 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.
“I found it the hardest phase to watch someone in addiction recovery go through, their disregard for your emotional and physical wellbeing, your feelings don’t even come into their mind, no matter how much you try to sympathise and say that you understand the pain they’re going through, it’s never enough to convince them that they’re not alone and their own destructive misery feels like they find joy in inflicting pain upon others, they feel better spreading their pain rather than facing it.”
Speaking about the LP as a whole, which came after the loss of drummer Jamie Gowers in 2024, Charlie reflects that, “This is the hardest record we will ever have to do – how can we flip it into something we’re proud of, and give it the longevity and legacy it deserves?”
She adds: “It’s told its story, and I don’t feel like I need to take it any further. It’s a capsule of that moment, of the things that happened to me, and I’m now in a new part of my life. That’s why drawing the line under it is important.”
