Wunderhorse guitarist Harry Fowler has surprise released his debut solo album ‘Blankets’, alongside the single ‘Perfect Colours’. The record arrived on October 30 without any prior announcement, marking Fowler’s first solo release outside of his role with the band.

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 now. Fowler has also made a limited run of just 300 vinyl copies available through his official website.

The release is accompanied by the debut single ‘Perfect Colours’, which showcases the more understated direction of his solo material, driven softly by lilting piano notes and an aching lead vocal.

Listen to the track below:

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.

Wunderhorse released their second album ‘Midas’, their first as a fully established four-piece, in 2024, with Fowler featuring alongside Slater, drummer Jamie Staples and then-bassist Peter Woodin. The album followed 2022’s ‘Cub’, which had originally been conceived as Slater’s solo project.

Wunderhorse have continued working on new material throughout 2026, and debuted two unreleased songs, ‘Kerosene’ and ‘Promises’, during their North American tour in July. Meanwhile, the band is set to support Sam Fender on his huge 2027 UK stadium tour, including dates at Newcastle’s St James’ Park, Wembley Stadium and Manchester’s Etihad Stadium.
