SharpTone Records has announced they have signed the band unpeople. Along with the announcement the video below for the band’s new single “smother” has been released with word of the signing.
Jake Crawford, the band’s vocalist, offered the following on the song:
“‘smother‘ is a song born of unfiltered introspection and sheer desperation. The intentionally prying first line ‘Are you being honest with yourself?’ was more of a question to myself, let alone the potential audience. Myself and [guitarist] Luke [Caley] were certainly ‘feeling the pressure’ at the time of the song’s inception.
Having come off the back of two massive breakups, one band and one personal, we were literally scrambling for ‘something to live for.’ Lyrically, it was a collaborative effort. Luke came up with the chorus, which I immediately connected with. It then inspired me to really dig into the suffocating feeling of being at a complete loss of direction at the time. The rest came relatively easily as we were certainly in similar boats, albeit from slightly differing perspectives.”
