about

Reverb Worship press release:

"I'm finally able to announce Michael Plater's "Mythologies" album. It's taken a while for this to come to fruition but it has been well worth waiting for. Michael is a wonderful Australian singer-songwriter who has a dark folky melancholic storyteller vibe which he delivers with his deep timbred voice.When discussing this release Michael decided to add two bonus tracks which are exclusive to this RW CD version' (Roger Linney, Reverb Worship)

"A very cool reissue," (Thee Psychedelicatessen, U.K)

"Mythologies is an album made of that sweet melancholy that we know so well…at once familiar and reassuring, like an old friend who comes to visit you when a rainy horizon weighs on your soul." (Mithra Templezine, France)

“Late-night indie rock 'n' roll, woozy dreampop atmospherics, and a generous helping of Gothic Americana,” (Bliss Aquamarine, U.K)

"His seemingly sweet music approaches you almost tenderly, then comes the deep, deep voice, somewhere between Nick Cave and Johnny Cash. A voice that carries a real melancholy, supported by an insistent but discreet piano...exciting, rock and roll and lyrical," (New Box Magazine, France)

"Those Johnny Cash, Nick Cave, Tom Waits kind of low vocals pull you through all the layers of earth to a dark and desperate place," (Triple J, Australia)

"Michael is an Australian musician who has a deep baritone voice, a voice that he uses to great effect on the gentle sombre spoken word opener ‘Officer’s Mess'...There are some nice touches in the playing with slide guitar, Leslie harmonica, violin, organ accordion, bass and drums...‘The Drunkards Prayer’, a woozy lament of the demon alcohol has some nice playing with plenty of violin, accordion and lead guitar. The album ends with ‘The Dreamer’s Dream’, mostly instrumental, it’s also my favourite, with some fine ensemble playing, tremolo guitar, martial drums and heavily amped harmonica," (Terrascope, U.K)
