Album Description A collection of driving, semi-acoustic songs falling somewhere in the middle ground between folk and punk. While the arrangements can get complex, the album feels like a cohesive effort throughout--perhaps because Kerschen plays every single instrument on it. From the understated fingerpicking of "Palo Verde" to the barroom stomp of "The Day the Music Died," his lyrical dexterity and guitar chops are consistently on display. Byzantine Records. 2003.

CD ReviewsAnd they said he couldn't top "Gay Pirate Penguin" 12/04/2003 (5 out of 5 stars) "I don't know how many would agree with me on this, but I think The Motzart Club is undoubtedly Paul Kerschen's best album. The lyrics on this album are absolute poetry - mastery, sheer mastery. From the dark satire of the title track to the cynical but all-too-true Brother Mine, to the appropriately titled Palo Verde, to the poetic and highly erotic O Cecilia, Kerschen's lyrics stand nearly unrivaled in music. However, the real lyrical standout of the album is Northern Lights, a biting satire that stands up favorably to anything he has ever written. You won't find bombastic musical arrangements or overbearing vocals here, though. What you will find are Kerschen's great lyrics sung in an intensely personal and moving way. And that, surely, is enough." Mozart Club T.O. Ziggy | Lake Tahoe, USA | 04/22/2004 (5 out of 5 stars) "This entire album is a veritable blend of rhythm and meaningful lyrics. At first, I was drawn to it because of the musical arrangement. Then, when I went back and listened to the lyrics, I realised their universality and whilst they could have meaning for Kerschen, I found meaning for myself. For example, track 5, "Payphone" is reminiscent of picking up a telephone whilst your computer is utilising the phone line for access to the Internet. However, with this song there is a mellifluous connection and it spoke to me much like Rudyard Kipling's novel, "Captains Courageous". Every time I listen to this track, I get goose bumps. Indeed, the album adroitly transitions from hope to lugubrious longing to psychedelic discovery to realisation of hypocrisy and finally pensive introspection. Themes we can all relate to, but only Kerschen can articulate as a one-man band i.e. a true troubadour for his generation."
