Background

On 29 March 2022, the band announced their second album, along with the single "Bury Me in My Shoes". [2] In an interview with Paste , lead singer Charlie Drinkwater said, "My Other People is a more 'open' set of songs, both musically and in our themes; in the process of writing we found ourselves talking about things other than anger or aggression. We wanted to discuss love, loss and joy too. It's a record about personal disintegration and destruction, but also rebuilding again after this. It's also heavily rooted in place, the music being a very direct response to Britain and England in 2021, but in a more abstract and textural sense." [2]

The album is named after Darwin, as the group considered how jarring his "survival of the fittest" theory would seem to a person of faith.
