Gareth Mitchell is a post-rock academic, an innovative guitarist who now uses recorded splices of treated guitar (among other things) made into loops to meticulously construct electronic music, as on his upcoming album, 72. We dive deep into his tracks "Circle" and "Decay" from this album and get a taste of his dreaming singer/songwriter material with "Sovereign" from Spectre (2012). We also debut the track "Granulations."

Gareth is as thoughtful an artist as you could possibly want to talk to, and really gives us some great insight into his unique approaches to composition. Learn more at garethmitchell.info.
