    “Definitely the tomato,” replies Chris Kasper, Philadelphia-based singer songwriter and travelling muse-master, in response to the prompt, “What is your power vegetable?” Not only for its striking semblance to the dirigibles that knock about in Kasper’s brimming treasure box of tropes and whimsy that weave their way into his symbolically rich songscapes, but for its interchangeability and fluid identity, traits that mark Kasper’s musical style, … “It can be a fruit—or a vegetable.”

    It is this never the same river twice mentality that we love about Kasper’s work, and one of the many things that keeps us coming back to it time and again, always pleased to find something new and never ordinary. Often evoking an uncanny familiarity, Kasper’s unobtrusive falsetto, carried along by lilting rhythms and soothing bass presence, marry well to create an effect of elusive nostalgia that tugs at you, and keeps you listening, yet is never familiar enough to become trite.
