Press

"Daring, ambitious, and high-concept, Cohen's 'Confessions of a Shadow' puts the artist's effects-heavy, uber-bass voice front and center, using it to embody the title's 'shadow' as it bears witness to humanity's fears, foibles, and follies...Cohen's polished production is a world unto itself, a beautiful nightmare whose wry humor and inky darkness make it a strong candidate for Off-Broadway."

— Music Connection

"Confessions of a Shadow is a musical that looks to blow the roof off of the genre – it is a once in a lifetime experience for listeners and those that crafted the effort. Give it a go today."

— James McQuiston, NeuFutur Magazine

"An unusual and, at times, spellbinding artist..."

— Music Connection

"Having listened to your CD (How I Want to Die), I certainly have similar sentiments that you express. I feel we live in a society numb from television without the directed intelligence or compassion to lead a Love Revolution we need...and I appreciate anybody trying to do something about that."

— Patch Adams, Gesundheit Institute

"Startlingly original it takes an artist like Catman Cohen to really show the way forward in sonic artistry and he has continued to bring material of the finest calibre to the forefront. His vocal style is deep and brash but the floating melodies contradict this with great effect."

— Joe Ward, Subba-Cultcha

"Twelve tracks and Catman comes out stronger than before; there is evolution and progression with 'How I Want To Dream' that makes me want to listen to any follow up releases that [they] may put out there in the next few years."

— James McQuiston, NeuFutur

“ “The nursing shortage in America has been memorialized in song and video by an unlikely hero named Catman Cohen whose body of work has struck a raw nerve in this country.” ”

— Mary Ruff-King, Nursing Mastery Center

"Catman himself sounds like a cross between Tom Waits and Leonard Cohen, a raspy bullfrog voice that grabs your attention."

— Joe Frietze, INK 19

"It is great to see someone trying to revive the time-honored tradition of music with both a soul and a purpose. Having just seen the first part of Scorsese's documentary on Dylan, I'm reminded of how important this is for society. And I'm delighted (Catman) is tackling the issue of water...I'm afraid we are indeed heading into an era of growing conflict over water, and anything we can do to avoid that is worth doing."

— Dr. Peter Gleick (MacArthur Fellow), Pacific Institute

““Catman Cohen's music goes further into the strange and weird.” ”

— Paul de Bruijn, Rambles

"We need more brave musicians and artists like Catman Cohen. It is interesting, but sad, to see how concerned citizens like Cohen and others get censored and excluded by the Illuminati puppets, and other ignorant, 'useful idiots,' to quote the Illuminati themselves."

— Wes Penre, Illuminati News

"Think Chris Rea and Nick Cave on holiday with Leonard Cohen watching a Tarantino movie."

— Dave Chislett, Matchbox Radio 24

"Catman offers us his most impressive album yet ...(How I Want to Dream) is an album that will be remembered.”

— Gary Levinson, Indie Music Reviews (Germany)

"(How I Want to Die)..the darkest 75 minutes most people will experience in their entire lives. It is nothing less than a poignant reflection of America in decline, the final musical and lyrical gasps of a collapsing Empire...and it is brilliant...Take a close listen to Catman's remake of the Kylie Minogue party hit, CAN'T GET YOU OUT OF MY HEAD. Catman's suicide version will be requested repeatedly on radio stations across the world by those shell-shocked fans of the song who simply cannot believe what he did to it."

— Marc Seltzer, LASplash

““I absolutely LOVE his voice. It has to be one of the deepest I have heard. Like a giant toad with laryngitis singing in the center of a spacious hollow planet.” ”

— Marcus Stanlec, WTFMusic
