Gavin Haslett is a multi-instrumentalist, composer, and producer whose work stretches from raw experimental rock to immersive ambient soundscapes. His musical journey began at the age of seven, when he first picked up the guitar and began training under a seasoned blues musician. Those early lessons instilled a foundation of emotional expression and technical discipline that continue to shape his playing today. Over the years, Gavin expanded into drums, synthesizers, and voice, eventually becoming a multi-instrumentalist equally at home behind a guitar, a drum kit, or any stringed instrument. As both guitarist and singer, he brings a visceral, human edge to his performances.
While guitar was his entry point, Gavin’s obsession with field recordings became the catalyst for his solo ambient work. His solo compositions blur the line between music and environment, he layers naturalistic sounds, textures, and reverbous melodies into truly visual and immersive soundscapes. With a fascination for the ways silence and noise interact, Gavin createa pieces that are at once fragile and overwhelming, balancing loudness with restraint.
Beyond his experimental work, Gavin holds a deep love for poetry and the simplicity of acoustic folk. He often turns to acoustic guitar and voice as a space to write more intimate, technical pieces in the tradition of singer-songwriters. These songs strip away layers of production to reveal raw, intricate guitar work and lyrics that lean into vulnerability, offering a quieter but equally intense side of his artistry.
Alongside his solo work, Gavin is the producer and a founding member of Wilted Cabbage, a five-piece multi-genre abfuturist rock band based in Atlanta, GA, hailing originally from the North Georgia Mountains. Known for using field recordings with crushing guitars and massive atmospheres, the band strikes a balance between intimacy and sheer force. Drawing inspiration from post-rock, psychedelic rock, funk, sludge, and metal, their music recalls the energy of acts like Electric Wizard, Radiohead, Black Sabbath, and Godspeed You! Black Emperor, while carrying a distinct Southern grit and a D.I.Y. ethos.

Since forming in 2023, Wilted Cabbage has become known for immersive live sets that blur the line between concert and performance art, concerts where Gavin’s dual passions for sound design and field recording collide with the band’s massive, genre-bending instrumentation.
Through both his solo compositions and work with Wilted Cabbage, Gavin has built a musical identity rooted in atmosphere, tension, and raw honesty. Whether through guitars, weird synthetic textures, or sounds of the enviroment, his work searches for a kind of unpolished beauty: something immersive, human, and alive.

STAIL

“Words Don’t Work” by “stail” an experimental slowcore and lo-fi rock album by Gavin Haslett, Christian Rippe, and Kaden Van Note, and it is one of Gavin’s most intamate and experimental project to date. The project album blends quiet, reverb-driven guitars, stripped down songwriting, and fragile vocals to create an atmosphere that is slow, heavy, and deeply emotional. Written entirely about personal experiences, the album tackles themes of pain, isolation, and reflection with a stark honesty that mirrors its sound. Musically, Stail leans into its imperfection using space, decay, and heavy reverb to build a mood that feels massive and booming but also fragile. The result is a record that balances closeness and isolation, often resulting in a vulnerable listening experience that lingers long after it ends.
