guitarist has surprised fans with new solo album ‘Blankets’.

Out now, the album landed without warning on streaming services a few moments ago, but it actually represents the culmination of more than a decade of work.

Known for his key role in indie rock breakouts Wunderhorse, Harry Fowler has quietly been amassing a solo catalogue, swapping the grunge crunch of his day job for a softer, quieter side hustle.

A series of spartan, acoustic, finger-picked odes, ‘Blankets’ becomes a paean to gentle tones, with the recording thriving on a sense of intimacy.

We’re still absorbing it, but there’s much to recommend here in its softly understated beauty.
