CURRENT PRESS: "Kasen can put together a fine folk-song that one can easily imagine echoing out over the heads of an attentive folk-festival crowd." God is in the TV Zine (UK)
"Pennies in the Pocket softly strums its way into a tender ballad that runs perfectly along the grain of Kasen's sustained and drawn out vocal lines. It is a subdued, warm sound he makes and reminds me of Eddie Vedder's progressive-folk efforts with a dash of Jose Gonzales." MadDog Magazine (UK)
"Peter Matthew Kasen moves on that entirely in the minimalistic tradition of American Singer/Songwriter such as Dylan or Guthrie, but also pertinent to Drake or José Gonazlez." Blueprint-Fanzine (GERMANY)
"Friendly Foe" feels very bluesy, but it's almost a dark midnight blue, that allows you to sense the agnst caused by those that are closest to you, an instrumental piece full of feeling." Neil Fatea Magazine (UK)
I was born in Miami, FL, in the United States of America. I started as a Solo Artist in May of 2005 in Berkeley, CA under the name, Propel. I studied Songwriting, Guitar, and Composition at Berklee College of Music in Boston, Massachusetts. Previous to going Solo, I was always in bands, never on my own. Until I released a EP in May of 2005 entitled, “A Year Worth Forgetting”. That EP allowed me to tour alot up and down the I – 5 Corridor from San Francisco to Seattle on 7 different tours. I recorded a song called “Exhale” for a compilation I was featured on called, “Best of the Bay Area Volume 1″. I than recorded another unreleased song called “Looking Glass” for a compilation called, “Emo goes Acoustic”. Neither song was ever released on any of my records, other than on those 2 compilations.
2006 provided me a move to Los Angeles, where I recorded and released my 2nd EP entitled, “Antique Scars”. This EP allowed me to do more touring into Arizona and a bit of the Midwest of the US. It gained alot of reviews, and radio play throughout the US and parts of Europe.
In 2008 I recorded my debut Full Length record, “Dust, Doors, and Debt” in Wales, United Kingdom. This was a 10 song album, that became a UK imprint and allowed me more positive reviews, continued radio play, and the opportunity to come back to Europe to tour in the future.
In Jan of 2009, my 4th album, "VEER" was self released in the US. "VEER", has now been released in France by MEKA in July of 2009. In November of 2009, "VEER" will be released in the Netherlands by Useless Armor. NET Releases in September have come from Lomeanor Records in Russia, and Audio Sodomy Records in the USA.
