Producer, sonic architect, singer and songwriter Paul Thomas Saunders possesses an emotive voice that reveal his origins as a choral singer. It is instantly recognisable. Using just his guitar, a microphone, and a computer, he released 3 home-recorded EPs leading to live shows opening for acts like <a href="spotify:artist:0wz0jO9anccPzH04N7FLBH" data-name="Low">Low</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:5G49Sq5mMzAkGL4ZP6eVPY" data-name="The Staves">The Staves</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:7bPs6jf983f0bjRAt1yxDM" data-name="Patrick Watson">Patrick Watson</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:2m1l9MLSslzup4vvokKgvQ" data-name="Villagers">Villagers</a>, and <a href="spotify:artist:6fVcDUckTwxqg56qNsEvUr" data-name="Frightened Rabbit">Frightened Rabbit</a>.
