About Unconditionally Loving Pets.
Originally about Beth having the power to bring a snail back to life with love, the song took on a weight when the snail did die a year later, and then our dog a year or so after that. Though through all this sorrow is undeniable, we learn to appreciate the love our pets give us, occasionally for treats but often for no reason. Darragh Hansard

Boasting a more pronounced Krautrock influence, the Irish duo pair their infectious noise with groovier riffs, joyriding into oblivion. The Eisenberg Review
Unique Freaks have found themselves in a moment of blossoming, from their initial beginnings as an Industrial duo, then stumbling into their freak folk debut ‘Light Boat Drones’ and blasting into two complete psychedelic ear bleeders ‘Ponderous Fug’ & ‘Beaming A Moments Reflection’, both of which received critical acclaim.In the summer of 2024 the duo shifted directions, focusing on formulating shorter more concise songs which resulted in the ‘Glowing Friends’ EP, their first release as Unique Freaks. All this sonic shifting has finally jettisoned them into their latest project, A complete boiling pot of everything the Freaks have ingested, sonically, orally, visually, you name it. Though the new material takes on a POP approach in its production, the Freaks whimsical, and often vulnerable personalities bleed through, at times showing bare bone.
Throughout their time as Thee U.F.O the Freaks were seen playing live shows with the likes of Godcaster, Jim Jones All Stars, Meatbodies, Acid Mothers Temple, Cardinals, Search Results and many more national & international acts; as well as securing a spot at All Together Now 2023.
In September 2024 the duo debuted a new live line-up featuring two drummers and a psychedelic light show, They intend on making their live shows more overwhelming and bizarre.
