O disco chegou hoje (30 de outubro) sem qualquer anúncio prévio, marcando o primeiro lançamento solo de Fowler fora de seu papel na banda.

Described as an intimate collection of songs that the guitarist has accumulated since his teenage years, ‘Blankets’ takes a stripped-back approach, combining sparse, finger-picked acoustic guitar with delicate vocals.

The album has been released independently and is available to stream here. Fowler has also made a limited run of just 300 vinyl copies available through his official website.

O lançamento é acompanhado pelo single de estreia ‘Perfect Colours’, que mostra a direção mais discreta de seu material solo, conduzido suavemente por notas de piano envolventes e um vocal principal que dói.

Fowler is best known as the guitarist in Wunderhorse, the band fronted by Jacob Slater, who began the project as a solo venture before expanding it into a full group.

The two musicians have been friends since they were 14, having bonded over their shared love of Led Zeppelin, Pearl Jam and Nirvana while attending school in Hertfordshire, as they recalled in a 2024 interview with NME.

Wunderhorse released their second album ‘Midas’, their first as a fully established four-piece, that same year, with Fowler featuring alongside Slater, drummer Jamie Staples and then-bassist Peter Woodin.

O álbum seguiu o 'Cub' de 2022, que originalmente havia sido concebido como projeto solo de Slater.

Reviewing their show at Glastonbury 2025, NME wrote: “The London band meet those high expectations head-on with a set that’s searing and masterful, showcasing the best of their discography so far and what makes them such a vital act.”.

Wunderhorse continuou trabalhando em novo material ao longo de 2026 e estreou duas músicas inéditas, “Kerosene” e “Promises”, durante sua turnê na América do Norte em julho.

Speaking to NME at Glastonbury last year, Slater suggested that the band’s next record could take a more optimistic direction.

Enquanto isso, Wunderhorse está programado para apoiar Sam Fender em sua enorme turnê de estádios do Reino Unido em 2027, incluindo datas no St James’ Park de Newcastle, no Wembley Stadium e no Etihad Stadium de Manchester.

Fender announced three additional dates earlier today following overwhelming demand for tickets, with Wunderhorse supporting at the new Cardiff and Edinburgh shows.
