The band’s lilting folk-rock arrangements carry Boothby’s stories, occasionally lifting them skyward with flurries of cello samples, pedal steel, flute, \u0026amp; electric piano. It’s a record of depression and frustration that doesn’t stew in piety or aestheticize pain, that also explodes with life. Fragile and abundant.

Drifting through waves of slow, unfurling guitars, gentle strings \u0026amp; heart-beating drums, Saunders’ delicate songs elicit solitude and narrate the bittersweet beauty of everyday life’s mundanities. Reminiscent of Caroline and Angelo De Augustine, Saunders’ music is influenced by the likes of Sigur Ros and Sparklehorse. His intricate indie ballads offer listeners a contemplative escape, a style that For The Rabbits described as “intriguingly layered, quietly ambitious and subtly intriguing”. A solid part of the Bristol indie music scene, playing guitar for Katy J Pearson and bass in 5-piece punk band, Cruelty, the EP features numerous collaborations, including Anna B Savage, and members of Pet Shimmers and Happyness, enhancing the depth and diversity of the record. So Young magazine highlighted Saunders' emotive resonance, stating his work is \"a slow, chemical shot of nurtured empathy\". The EP will be released on limited edition 12\" orange vinyl by Bristol label, Gold Day.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gold Day","offers":[{"title":"12\"","offer_id":50490270187851,"sku":"2047526","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/Ben-VinylMockUp-PNG_81306951_thumbnail_4096.png?v=1727656608"},{"product_id":"hear-as-the-mirror-echoes","title":"Hear as the Mirror Echoes","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBritish artist herbal tea's debut album \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHear as the Mirror Echoes\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e drifts in and out like a half-remembered dream.
