FROM THE INNOCENCE OF A KID IN SCHOOL MESSING AROUND WITH A TAPE DECK - FEVERISHLY BOUNCING TRACKS - TO THE MASSIVE AUDIO EXTRAVANGANZAS....THE ACT OF CREATION IS STILL AS EXCITING AS IT HAS EVER BEEN
THE UNKNOWNN HAVE SHRUGGED OFF DELUSIONS OF FAME, PREFERRING THE SHADOW LANDS OF SOUND
ITS ALWAYS ABOUT MUSIC - WE'VE ALWAYS BEEN FASCINATED BY THE WAY SUCH AN INTANGIBLE THING CAN HAVE SUCH A PROFOUND EFFECT ON SO MANY PEOPLE IN SO MANY DIFFERENT WAYS
Influences
From the sublime to the ridiculous. Portishead to NIN, stopping for a listen on the way to Samuel Barber, Hienrich Gorecski, Thomas Newman, Pink Floyd and Aretha Franklin.

Whidden Lee Flores - Re:Gen Magazine
Past the realm of the explainable, the earthly, and the definition of "just a band", The Unknownn breaks all these barriers without so much as a lifted finger.
The Atomic Chaser - DRP/All Access Magazine
THE UNKNOWNN is a band whose music must be experienced. Their music is hauntingly seductive, powerful and mesmerizing. It gave me chills.
Carlonine Beavon - Kerrang Radio
"Ok ... this is one of those albums that makes you rethink the type of music you are into. . .
Raw .. for example - if you don't get goose-bumps 3 minutes into it, check you are still breathing"
Chris White - Party in Kingston
"I've explored this album song-by-song, note-by-note and I'm here to say that I am totally in awe of this stunning production. It's one of the best produced/mastered cd's I have ever listened to.
(with) this extraordinary album.
The Unknownn will undoubtably become very well known.
MP3 Hardplay
From the beginning guitar notes of Nocturnal, through to the sad
electric piano shapes of Sad Sin, you won't stop it; the music will
grow on you in a crescendo of extreme pleasure
Jason Rhode
Debut album? If this is the Unknownn's debut album, hold on to your butts, people...they'll be handing it to listeners for albums to come.
Steven Hurst - Glasswerks
For sheer impact value its best to start at the beginning.
For shifts in tone see Backseat, but for strength in all departments and even for the sheer will of a song go straight to Ink Star Skin. Songs like this can go horribly wrong in the wrong hands but here its nothing short of a masterpiece.
Kate James - Up-Load
Well what can I say ! After listening to all 58 minutes and 40 seconds of this album all I can say is thank you to the Unknownn for letting us have a copy of this masterpiece. I love it.
