Andrew Wasylyk is the recording name of Andrew Mitchell, a composer, producer and multi-instrumentalist from Dundee, Scotland. His records are mostly instrumental, and many of them are tied to places in eastern Scotland. Before working under this name he fronted the indie band The Hazey Janes, and he has also toured as a member of Idlewild. Andrew Wasylyk released his first album under the name, Soroky, in 2015.

On Irreparable Parables, Andrew Wasylyk invites a choir of kindred voices into his gently haunted sound world, turning his childhood‑warm, strings‑and‑Rhodes miniatures into a series of quietly radiant songs about fragility, hope and the stubborn endurance of feeling.
