Release Biography
Drew Fitchette is a guitar player based in the Pacific Northwest. As a founding member of Rooftops and Detlef he has always focused on melodic composition bridging complexity with accessibility. Now Fitchette is composing music for solo guitar, drawing inspiration from primitive guitar, classical composition, and math rock. Fitchette has always been fascinated by familiarity and intrigue when it comes to music, and hopes to push his composition to the margins of both.
‘None, Too Many’ is a collection of songs composed over the previous year (2016) informed by various personal and public events. It was recorded over two days at the Unknown Studio in Anacortes, WA with Nich Wilbur (Mount Eerie, Stephen Steinkbrink, LAKE), and with the help from friends, the hope was to capture a sense of place, time, and those involved. It was then released November 17th 2017 digitally worldwide, as well as on limited edition cassette via Furious Hooves.
Press & Accolades
“In a way, the sound is much like the forests of the Pacific Northwest themselves, so old and familiar that they conjure a certain nostalgia even in outsiders, yet still possessing some persistent sense of mystery and intrigue, as though within their ancient midst might lie abounding newness.”
– Various Small Flames, premiere of “Bill” from ‘None, Too Many’ miniLP.
