The album has already amassed over 300,000 streams, and sees multiple collaborations with longtime The 1975 / Sam Fender collaborator John Waugh. The album’s previous singles ‘The Rules’, ‘Dancing Don’t Feel Right’, ‘Kiss Me Like You Miss Her’, ‘See Her’ and ‘Borderline’ have seen support from BBC Radio 6’s Indie Forever show, The Line Of Best Fit, Pop Journal, Fresh on the Net and multiple Spotify editorial playlists with ‘Borderline’ being used to open an E4 Made In Chelsea episode, their first national TV sync placement.

Their debut, 10 track studio album was recorded and mixed with long-term producer Ollie Searle at Humm Studios and mastered by the acclaimed John Webber (David Bowie, Duran Duran, Coach Party). ‘The Things You Don’t Know Yet’ is a collection of songs about people, love, loss and the feelings and experiences we carry through life. Each track is instantly memorable, delivering dancefloor energy, warm harmonies, vibrant synths, driving basslines, lush guitars, crisp arrangements and heart-on-sleeve lyrics. The result is 10 songs that walk the edge of contradiction, it’s ‘happy music for sad people’. 

On the creation of the album, drummer Nathan Searle says: “‘The Things You Don’t Know Yet’ is our way of saying ‘this is who we are’. We’ve lived through different moments, felt the same weight. We each have our own voice, but this album speaks as one. It’s not just a collection of ideas; It’s a reflection of where we’ve been as friends, as musicians, and as people trying to make sense of things. It’s about the stuff we carry, the things we hide, and the moments we hold onto. Writing these songs helped us feel more connected to each other. Now we hope they do the same for you, we hope you find something here that feels like it was meant just for you. They were ours for a long time. Now they’re yours.”

Ahead of the album came its final single ‘Boy Grows Old’ released on September 5th 2025, their second collaboration with The 1975 / Sam Fender Saxophonist John Waugh.

Discussing the single, guitarist David Woolford explains: “Our music often carries a sense of nostalgia, usually viewed through the lens of rose-tinted glasses. While some of our songs romanticise the past, ‘Boy Grows Old’ doesn’t.  The lyrics reflect our genuine experiences of youth and the difficulties that accompany growing older. Young people often face immense pressure, and this can be from their families. As we mature, we come to realise that our parents and guardians are not infallible; they are human too. They make mistakes, can sometimes be unkind, and are also finding their own way. This song is a snapshot of childhood, with the luxury of hindsight. It’s a heartfelt message to our younger selves, recognising we can’t change the past but, we can reflect on it and learn from our experiences.”
