A vibey mixture of organic sounds, hooky melodies, and surprising instrumental textures. Stylistically eclectic, the songs are bound together by a unique musical vision which reminds us a lot of Aimme Mann, The Kennedys and Crowded House. This male/female due is a class-act all the way and folks into `the song` are going to nustle these Nashville-based pros into your heart as this CD`s emotionally resonant stories hit their mark. Steve Cirkvencic is a guitarist with a very personal playing style, while Cat Miller`s influences as a singer are eclectic: classical, pop, and singer-songwriter rock. The sweeping emotionalism on "Plan 168" is bold, strong in focus and yet combines a gentle, intense personal feel all over. The songs that emerge are unique: Richard Thompson meets Neil Young meets Crowded House--is there a name for that?--filtered through a warm and exhilarating female vocal presence a la Aimee Mann and Sam Phillips. Wide-ranging influences, from American roots to classic pop to Eastern music, are melted down and blended into something new in Johnny Microwave`s songs, and the result is a musical cocktail you`ll want to drink up.
