The Unknownn were born in early 2003 from a mutual love of all things dark. The Unknownn has brought together a collective of like-minded talent.

From a studio in the depths of the English countryside The Unknownn have successfully managed to create a substantial body of work.

The dark, sculptured sound of The Unknownn reflects a life full of experiences, this, teamed with the collaborative efforts of the talented artists who frequent the studio’s ever-revolving doors.

From a kid in school with a Marantz tape deck, feverishly bouncing tracks until all that could be heard was a sonic tribute to mush, an audio brown out! The act of creation is still as exciting now as I was then, retaining all the vibrancy of youth.

But why music?

“If a picture paints…well, music communicates so much more. I love the way a short piece of music can illustrate a sensibility with such personal, yet ambiguous detail.”

The Unknownn have shrugged off any delusions of grandeur and fame, preferring the shadow lands of sound to the velvet-roped areas of ephemeral nightclubs. (Although the lack of pretty girls is lamented)

“It’s always about music. – I’ve always been fascinated by the way such an intangible entity can have such a profound effect on so many people in so many different ways! But mostly about the way music has affected me!”

So music it was. “It’s the soundtrack to our lives, happy, sad, sexy or confused, but mostly miserable”.

The Music

Each track has a story…the throbbing bass lines and melancholic vocals of ‘Blood’ ooze black-hearted romanticism. With dirty riffs and haunting, breathy vocals, it is hypnotic and soulful.

‘Get it’ conjures up images of smoke-filled, dimly lit back rooms, with its horny vocals, fucked-up guitar stabs and rich organ sounds. Sultry layered vocals slide in and out of a dark and distorted arrangement.
The glossy grit of ‘Duplicitous’ however, leaves you thoughtful, with its ambiguous lyrics and haunting string melodies. Timeless, poignant and heartfelt, these inspired vocals send a chill down your spine.

From sweeping swings to screaming guitars, The Unknownn have a dirty sensuality about their music. Listeners experience a sound, which results in a gritty ride journey of the senses. The Unknownn describe their music as “a culmination and reaction to everything I have seen and heard to date. “
