As Everything Unfolds release new single ‘Denial’

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. Last Thursday saw 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. 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 & their own destructive misery feels like they find joy in inflicting pain upon others, they feel better spreading their pain rather than facing it.

Depth. An infinity loop of layers that unravel over time. In the case of Charlie Rolfe, the importance of depth has come to define both the art that she creates – as frontwoman and lead vocalist of As Everything Unfolds – and re-contextualise the art she holds dearest.

“As I’ve got older, I’ve appreciated the depth of anything in my life,” she explains. “I can never accept something for how it is on the surface, I have to understand it.” Whether it’s the allegories and social commentary in Blade Runner, that desire for artistic depth flows through Charlie.

“I love absorbing information,” she adds. “I think that information is one of the most powerful tools in the world, and it’s undervalued by a lot of people. The more you know, the more you can potentially set yourself free.” Which brings us to just one thread of the concept behind ‘DID YOU ASK TO BE SET FREE?’, the first album from the Buckinghamshire quartet since signing to Century Media Records.

Set free from who? What? The rigour of that question is what characterises the fluidity of As Everything Unfolds’ third full-length, which grapples with the tightrope between a dream state and reality. Should you walk the tightrope and risk leaving your safe haven of fantasy? Whatever the choice – conscious or otherwise – will you find ‘freedom’ at the end of the road? That never-ending labyrinth of questions is what shapes the crux of the record.

Tragedy hit camp As Everything Unfolds in August 2024 when drummer Jamie Gowers, who was also Charlie’s boyfriend, passed away. Midway through writing this album, the quartet banded together to re-ignite the flames of As Everything Unfolds.

“It’s going to be shit and it’s going to be horrible, but running away from it felt like the wrong thing to do,” recalls Charlie. “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?” Taking two years to give writing and pre-production the TLC it deserved, the album was recorded across three weeks in February 2025.
