Tkettle - Electric Beanstalk (2016)

For this album, my aim was to fuse styles or feelings in music that might seem like polar opposites into something brand new, with its own unique feeling and identity; part acoustic and organic, part synthesized and digital.

"After months in the making, the debut album, “Electric Beanstalk,” from TKettle is finally out and ready to fill your ears with glitchy goodness and twangy delights. With this 8-track release, the Colorado-grown guitarist/producer, known in the real world as Tyler Gettel, lends a unique new contribution to the budding musical subgenre that fuses electronic production with folk, bluegrass and Americana sounds to create tunes that defy genres and fits neatly into the Colorado music scene. Whether you’re into banjo pickin’, glitchy synths or gritty bass, there is surely a song on “Electric Beanstalk” that you will connect with. This freshman LP is about as strong as they come, and it is an absolute blast from start to finish." -Joe Lafond, Souls in Action

I try to keep the sound that I produce equal parts expression and experimentation. I love the endless possibilities with today's production technology, and am absolutely addicted to pushing the limits producing, but I will always be a guitarist/instrumentalist at heart. As such, I aim to fuse styles or feelings in music that might seem like polar opposites into something brand new, with its own unique feeling and identity; part organic and analog, part synthesized and digital. My album, Electric Beanstalk, which I released earlier this year, really captures the essence of what I am trying to do. -Tkettle
