Editorial Reviews

An emerging acoustic artist who truly understands and ably crafts all aspects of song. Steven Kattenbraker’s self-produced release is a masterful blend of lyricism and melody, all bound in a sonic landscape with such grace and subtlety that it seems instantly familiar. Catchy? Of course, but in a way that exceeds mere accessibility and verges on timelessness. Kattenbraker’s introspective lyrics are delivered by a voice that is oft described as sultry, sweet, cynical - and frequently all at the same time. While his textured and interwoven melodies would stand alone as guitar/singer offerings, they are transformed into true art pieces with the melding of carefully constructed, expansive electronic and ‘found’ sounds.

This review is from: Steven Kattenbraker (Audio CD)

Once in a while a CD comes along with little fanfare and pre-publicity and it completely floors you. This was the case on my first listening to Steven Kattenbraker's self-titled EP. The songwriting here is magnificent--unique melodies suspended against chord structures and patterns more complex and interesting than most songwriter fare. But this isn't your typical contemporary folkie album, nor is it specifically alt-country or americana. Great artists create their own niche and I think Kattenbraker is well on his way.
