Members: Michael Bassett

With soaring vocals and powerful-yet-delicate guitarwork, Michael Bassett combines the raw catharsis of modern indie, the world-wise acoustic lilt of classic folk and the virtuosity of progressive rock on his Eschatone debut, puddleskinwaving. A native of Troy, New York, Michael was, as the Albany, NY Times Union proclaimed, one of the regions most promising and adventurous singer-songwriters... until he packed up and moved to England to study his craft and compose in a more experimental, abstract sound-sculptural style.

But you cant keep great songs down, and now Michael has returned to his stripped-down roots with puddleskinwaving, the nine-song CD recorded in Woodstock, NY by Kevin Bartlett and mastered by David Torn. The album proves that Michaels appeal transcends generational lines: he writes some of the most intense, challenging and grownup acoustic music around, yet his dazzling, gymnastic voice and guitar chops are the envy of emo kids everywhere.
