Gavin Castleton, born in providence, RI, began classical piano lessons at 3 years old, gave his first recital at 5, and wrote his first song when he was 7. AND he is a Zombie....no just kidding, this cat is just one sick psycho musical freak!

‘Home’ is his fourth album with Five One Records, yet it bears little resemblance to the others. In fact each one is completely different from the last. His fifth release, Titled Hospital Hymns EP, is the story of a fictional 76 year old stockroom worker in a hospital whose spirituality makes his coworkers uneasy. The record was funded and inspired by a 6-month stint in the stockroom of a Warwick Hospital in 2005. A Bullet, A Lever A Key, is the progressive hip hop EP that tells the story of his life backwards, from 2054 to present day. The song “Human Torch” was the hardest song to record on the album. According to Gavin, it features the only ‘Wihelm Scream’ ever heard on an album.

'Home' is actually a pop/horror movie masterpiece, a Zombie Love story that encapsulates the tragedy of his most recent relationship. That's right, I mentioned that there is a ZOMBIE involved! Who doesn't love zombies? I don't want to talk to you if you don't. Anyway, it seems that Gavin digs them or at least has a thing for them. Not only is there a zombie but this album is about a broken heart, a heart tore from your chest and stepped on, a heart that has just exploded from a massive break up and the years it has taken to heal and written like a Zombie film.......WOW! WOW! WOW!

Sugar coated pop melodies, colorful musical layers, soulful dual harmonies, and a love story unfold for the listeners enjoyment. This is one adventure that hooks you from the start and does not let go. Just like the bite of a ZOMBIE.....aaaAAARRRGH!!!!

"The album features big arrangements, lush production, and the versatile voice of Lauren Coleman (duetting with Castleton in the role of his lover). Produced by Gavin Castleton, mixed by Rob Pemberton and Overclock Inc., and mastered by Grammy-winner Mark Wilder, Home is an epic project designed to console all who have encountered love and lived to tell about it."
