History
After many years of playing locally in the American Midwest, Saul spent most of 2017-2018 focused on producing its first EP, Aeons, which debuted in spring 2019.[1] The album's headline track, "Brother",[2] describes the loss of a brother and the emotional rollercoaster that comes with the coping process.[3]
After exposure on the Sirius XM Octane Test Drive in winter 2019, "Brother" became a regular in Octane's rotation.[4][5] The song was also on Sirius XM Octane's Accelerator show as a recognized up-and-comer. It peaked at number 20 on the Billboard 40.[6]
