Flatsound is the musical alias of California-based singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Mitch Welling. With a distinctive approach to songwriting that combines lo-fi aesthetic, heartfelt lyrics, and an intimate, often melancholic ambiance, Flatsound has garnered a dedicated following within the indie and DIY music scenes. Mitch's work as Flatsound is characterized by its confessional style, exploring themes of love, loss, and mental health with a raw and unfiltered voice. His music often features a blend of acoustic elements, ambient soundscapes, and whispered vocal delivery, creating a personal and emotive listening experience.

Since first emerging in the late 2000s, Flatsound has released an extensive collection of albums and singles that showcase a prolific and evolving artistry. His most recent releases, such as "you can't impress anyone with normal pictures of the sea" and "Tire Marks," continue to push the boundaries of his sound, fusing poetic spoken word pieces with experimental sonic textures. Flatsound's work, including crowd favorites like "Hands" and "Old Soil (Spoken Word Pieces From 2012​-​2013)," is a testament to Welling's ability to connect deeply with his audience through the power of vulnerable and introspective music. The project remains a luminary in the world of underground indie music, resonating with listeners who find solace and understanding within the complex layers of Flatsound's compositions.
