Background

The EP features b-sides, demos, and remixes from the So Runs the World Away recording sessions. To the Yet Unknowing World was first made available on Ritter's official website and at his 2011 tour performances.[2] The EP later went on sale in record stores and iTunes, February 15, 2011. The title is from a line in the fifth act of Shakespeare's Hamlet[3] (the title of So Runs the World Away was also from a line of Hamlet, however, from the third act).[4][5]

In addition to the six songs on the EP, music videos for "The Curse" and "Rattling Locks" were released as well. They were directed by Liam Hurley[6] and Sam Kassirer[7] respectively.
