Press
Release:
After being sent some songs by a Mr Peter Mathew Kasen, and listening to them over and over, I've decided to attach a safety warning. PMK has an intense voice that will have you weeping by the end of the three song E.P. "Antique Scars". You don't need to listen to the lyrics intently to realise that the songs are deeply emotional and written with feeling, care and delicacy. A mix between Andrew Lipke and Jose Gonzales, PMK has a voice that will have you wondering why you haven't stumbled upon him before.
You may think that my first few words are negative, and i must therefore apologise to Peter, because I adore the short E.P. I like an album that messes with emotion, an album that you can't just have playing in the background, an album that simply cannot be ignored. PMK is an artist with intense talent who should not be left out of the picture. His debut album "Dust, Doors, and Debt" will be released in the UK in April 08 and I beg you ladies and gentlemen, give this man the credit he deserves and take a listen.
- Susan Ford Music Reviews - Edinburgh, Scotland UK:
"Track three "Collapse and Fade" is the highlight of the disc and seems particularly suited to appeal to fans of The Shins and Death Cab for Cutie. Overall, this short disc is intriguing enough to make you wonder what Kasen could do given the opportunity and backing to record a full length disc. Definitely worth picking up."
- Rock Star Gallery - Orange County, CA:
"Propel is Peter, a musician of the coast of California that devises a dense and intimate rock in the linea of authors of renown as Nick Drake."
- PopChild Records - Barcelona, Spain:
"Dynamics, Shifting from loud to soft sections, Underneath deep probing lyrics, and Flawless guitar parts."
- CD BABY - Portland, Oregon:
"Passionate and emotional, emo is not the word for Propel. It's raw. It's acoustic grunge. It's San Francisco."
