A Gentle Pause with Torri Weidinger, Inside ‘bunny with tunnel vision’

Torri Weidinger’s album ‘bunny with tunnel vision’ has me wishing I were stretched out in a grassy field, counting clouds as they drift past overhead. They are a newer artist, arriving with a rare sense of tranquility and a collection of songs that make your body feel warm one moment and chilled the next. There is something magnetic about tapping into genres I am unfamiliar with, it feels like stepping into a world where the canvas is completely blank. Giving Torri Weidinger’s album a listen opens that door, inviting new worlds and quiet revelations to take shape. This is what the album holds, and it is time to get into it.

Torri Weidinger is an indie singer songwriter whose highly anticipated sophomore album ‘bunny with tunnel vision’ was released on November 14, 2025 and features thirteen tracks, including singles like “i’m a bunny with tunnel vision”, “living to work”, “floating”, and “BIG RED EYES”. The album is a concept record that explores themes of identity, self reflection, some self hatred, and transformation, and unlike their earlier work, it leans into full band arrangements while still carrying an intimate emotional center. ‘bunny with tunnel vision’ is along the lines of a narrative arc with struggle and hope, each song telling a different story and showcasing Torri Weidinger’s mix of vulnerability and lyrical depth.

Their debut radio single “floating” charted on the SubModern Singles charts and earned editorial support on Spotify’s ‘Fresh Finds Folk’ playlist, and they have supported the pop group Girl Named Tom on tour, playing multiple sold out shows including at New York’s Mercury Lounge. Torri Weidinger’s music can be found on major streaming platforms and they continue to build a growing audience with their evocative songwriting and dynamic sonic palette.

I am really into this one, you guys. Broadening my music education and growing my collection feels like an absolute must this year, and the timing of discovering an album like this could not have been more perfect. Lately, I have been feeling the heavy punch of life’s confusions, and this record unlocked tears I had been holding onto since the morning. I truly believe Torri Weidinger has woven some deeply beautiful messages throughout these tracks, because I have never added something to my “Save In Case of Emotional Emergencies” playlist so fast.

A couple of my favorite tracks are “living to work” and “this too shall pass”, though I have no doubt that over time every song will find a home in my heart. These two felt the most immediately relatable, and lord knows I love anything that mirrors my own feelings. I was drawn to the upbeat and energetic pull of “living to work”, a song that sounds soft on the surface but carries a subtle edge of angst beneath it. With “this too shall pass”, the moment that eerie, almost ghoulish sound opened the track, I could feel it settle into my bones. Hearing Torri repeat the words “this too shall pass” quite literally made me exhale a tension I did not realize I was still carrying.

I love my metal, I love my guilty pleasure dance hits, and I even love my Arabic lyriced soul songs, but this album was something different. It was genuinely therapeutic, like being prescribed a dose of peace in the form of music. Before you pass on an album like this, save it. Save it for a moment when you need a pause, a breath, or a chance to clear your mind. Yes, it gives coffee shop and rainy day energy, but it also fits perfectly into those moments spent laying in bed daydreaming or driving long stretches of countryside road. Balancing our music libraries matters, and artists like Torri Weidinger belong there for the moments when you simply need to feel refreshed.
