Overview:
For the Love of Pete is the sixth solo release from producer/songwriter Gavin Castleton in 3 years. Fresh off the buzz surrounding his two recent fictional albums, Castleton’s For the Love of Pete will be a shocking dose of non-fiction for his listeners. This full-length album delivers an honest, warm and palpable crosssection of his extremely intimate and private 6-year relationship. It's a compilation of 12 songs that were written exclusively for a special girl from 2002 to 2007: from their budding courtship, through their heartspanking breakup, to the glorious aftermath still inspiring his writing today. Gavin Castleton has released a record that speaks to everyone who has ever found and lost love.
Press:
"Castleton’s ability to write for all tastes, in all styles, is
what makes him so broadly digestible"
- Providence Phoenix
"Delicate and soulful... a flawless construct of strings,
piano, beats/drums, voice and guitar."
