Parting Gift (band)

Parting Gift was a British rock band from Manchester. Formed in 2017 by former Holding Absence vocalist Zac Vernon and former Skywalker guitarist Petr Vybiral, for much of the band's career they also included George Barnes (drums), Jack Dutton (guitar) and Nick Barlow (bass). They initiated a series of singles with "Be Still" in February 2017, followed by their sole EP Ensome (2019), through Fearless Records. Parting Gift's sound built upon the dreamcore genre that surrounded Dreambound promotions in the 2010s, pioneering a new strain by emphasising its influence from post-rock and shoegaze.
