Fable are an experimental rock outfit based in Manchester, UK, known for their inventive blend of art-rock, electronica and experimental sounds. Drawing creative energy from their close-knit songwriting and immersive live-in-the-moment approach, the band emerged from years of jamming together before capturing their ideas in the studio.
Their 2025 release Trickster reflects the group’s wide emotional and conceptual range — described as “an album of love and life in a post-human world.” Recorded live over a six-day session in a cottage in Snowdonia, Wales, the record showcases eight compelling tracks that move between thoughtful lyricism, pulsing grooves and evocative atmospheres.
Featuring Vincent Taylor on vocals, Keith Devlin on bass, Phil Ratcliffe on guitar and Angelous Gavriilidis on drums, with additional string and synth contributions, Fable’s sound bridges organic instrumentation with subtle electronic textures. The band’s collaborative spirit and adventurous songwriting have helped define their identity on the Manchester scene and beyond.
With Trickster marking a vivid statement of intent, Fable continue to push their music into thought-provoking territory — blending introspection, storytelling and sonic experimentation into a distinctive artistic voice.
