**Rough Trade Recommends: 1000 Rabbits + My Precious Bunny + Lost Lyra**

Rough Trade's monthly new music showcase returns with some of the best up-and-coming acts in the alternative scene.

**1000 Rabbits**

1000 Rabbits. grooving, confessional art rock. Grounded by playful bass synthesiser, expressive vocal lines weave through a colourful tapestry of violin, guitar and drums, creating something immediate and immersive: rhythm-forward, emotionally raw, and built for bodies in motion. Comprising Laura (violin), Liv (synthesiser), Paolo (guitar), River (vocals) and Luke (drums), the five-piece cut their teeth across London’s independent venues, becoming regulars at The Windmill in Brixton where their high-voltage performances earned them a reputation as local “powerhouses”.

**My Precious Bunny**

My Precious Bunny is the solo project of Lily Wolter- songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and one-half of the beloved Brighton duo, Penelope Isles. In celebration of her debut album, ‘A Moment In My Eyes’, to be released this May on Bella Union, Wolter steps out on her own (with 6 close friends by her side), crafting music that feels like deep nostalgia. Bursts of saxophone, clarinet, warm analog synths and restless guitars collide with raw, communal choral power. With some of Brighton’s best players in the mix, MPB is gaining momentum fast.

**Lost Lyra**

Lost Lyra are a London-based six-piece, delivering their spin on shoegaze through dreamy and intricate live performances. They blend atmospheric soundscapes with emotional lyricism, drawing inspiration from post rock and modern alternative influences to create something unique.
