about

"His own voice; his own path... passionate, poetic..."
The Woodstock Times

With soaring vocals and powerful-yet-delicate guitarwork, Michael Bassett combines the raw emotion of modern emo, the world-wise acoustic lilt of classic folk and the virtuosity of progressive rock on his Eschatone debut.

puddleskinwaving is nine cathartic tracks of stripped-bare guitar and vocal, spare but never simple, recorded in Woodstock, NY by Kevin Bartlett and mastered by David Torn.

"One of our most promising and adventurous singer-songwriters."
The Albany Times Union

"Breathtaking songs... a voice bringing tears to your eyes."
Vesteralen News, Norway

"Michael Bassett is not your average American singer songwriter. [He] has reached a level of technical and emotional maturity that shines through in his work. Combined with a unique lyrical style and an incredible vocal range, he is one of those people who makes one wonder how so much talent can go unnoticed by so many for so long."
The Jaunty Continuum, UK

"He is fantastic... ."
Winds Magazine, Japan
