After building up an huge head of steam these past couple of years, unpeople have now unveiled the details of their biggest statement yet.
The band’s debut album will be titled ‘we are unpeople’ and will be released on October 09 via SharpTone Records. It’s the band’s first full body of work since their 2024 EP ‘unpeople’.
The band had this to say about it, stating, ‘we are unpeople’ is released into the world on October 9th and we couldn’t be more proud of it”, say the band. “We collectively put our absolute everything into it and we can’t wait to share it with you all!
The artwork looks like this:

8. waste

The keen eyed among you will see that the record features their already iconic track ‘the garden’ as well as ‘waste’ and ‘smother’ from their debut EP, as well as recently shared single ‘clouds’.
It also features freshly unleased track ‘friends’, a rip-roaring, rallying and raw piece of fun and fierce post-everything. Brimming with throat-shredding screams, insatiable melodies and plenty of angular intent, it’s a real earworm.
Vocalist Jake Crawford had this to say about the tune:
“‘friends’ is essentially a love song from the perspective of someone who is wholly sceptical about the very concept of love and what it’s come to mean in a modern context. I am essentially saying I am going to kill the very concept of love before it’s even had a chance to get a hold of me – I am that afraid of being that vulnerable. I’d rather not bother than risk saying something I don’t mean, and then pay for it emotionally down the line. I’m fully aware that this is not necessarily healthy, but the mind takes you to some strange places when strong feelings are involved.”
