Robin Mitchell

Robin Mitchell is a British singer-songwriter, songwriter, producer and performer from Bristol. He grows up in the city, and his music reflects a wide range of influences. He works across lo-fi, pop and low-fi styles, and his solo material is the work he is best known for.

Work and performance

Mitchell plays in a number of bands and performs under different names. His live group changes over time and plays guerrilla gigs in Bristol and elsewhere. He also works from a basement home studio, where he continues to record and produce a large body of songs.

Style and output

His songs are marked by poetic lyrics, soft vocals and an unpolished guitar style, giving the music a melancholic, folk-influenced character within a broader and varied catalogue. He builds a reputation for a creative approach to live performance in his home city and reaches a wider audience through internet compilations, including the Mercedes-Benz Mixtape.

Other projects

Mitchell uses the pseudonym Cock Robin. He also fronts the power pop and rock band Absent Me! and is linked to the electronic artist Mystery White Boy.
