A nice marriage of old school and new, Douglas Mitchell remains a melodic and emotionally honest songwriter - moving from acoustic sparsity to gently layered rhythmic grooves to all out bombastica. From the school of The Floyd, Clapton, and The Beatles he brings a fresh genre-spanning approach that is at once palatable and very listener friendly, somehow maintaining a depth that will continue to bring new revelation on repeated listening. Very well received wherever he plays, he bleeds the music. He suffers for the art. He finds crumbs in his bed when he wakes in the morning.
