‘Unlocked 1.5’ isn’t the first time the pair’s 2020 EP has been revamped. Last April, just two months after the original record’s release, an instrumental version was shared alongside details of a new comic book.

Unlocked is so much more than a few songs, it’s a feeling we all have,” Kenny said in a statement about the album before going on to tease a sequel release.

“For the first time I’m releasing my instrumentals because I truly believe these beats can live on their own. Put them on while you read the comic and stay tuned for part 2!”

“I always wanted artwork to accompany the film and the album. It just made sense,” Curry added. “On Imperial we put out a zine with unreleased photos from the album cover shoot and previous tour run. With Unlocked I wanted to do another booklet, It just made sense to turn it into a comic.”
