Selected Press:

"Beautiful and timeless...Music that breaks your heart." (Peek-a-Boo Magazine, Belgium)

"Dark folk (via destabilised post-punk) and epic mind-bending pieces which leave you gasping for air" (I-94 Bar, Sydney)

"Multifaceted and very emotional...bewitching" (Gezeitenstrom Musik Magazine, Germany)

"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... A voice that carries a real melancholy...exciting, rock and roll and lyrical," (New Box Magazine, France) 

"Michael is an Australian musician who has a deep baritone voice, a voice that he uses to great effect...There are some nice touches in the playing with slide guitar, Leslie harmonica, violin, organ accordion, bass and drums...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)

"Michaels warm, very melodious and deep voice exudes a draft of a special kind and creates goosebumps." (Independent Sounds, Germany)

"Listening to Michael Plater's music, the names that come to mind are Nick Cave, Nikki Sudden (in his 'solo works'), Lou Reed... Intimate folk-blues ballads, with an underground taste...a songwriter with talent...Heartfelt music from a sensitive soul, surely. Very good work." (Sudden Art Music Magazine, Italy)

"Fantastic and melancholic songs, sung with his strong and expressive voice." (At Sea Compilations, Germany)

"Mythologies is vocal-driven, Plater’s deep voice laying down a trail into the forest, the guitars and occasional harmonica and piano are the dark unknown around us…we’re lucky to have him,” (Robert Brokenmouth, I-94-Bar)
