Description
Johnny Microwave is:
*A luscious, melodic, guitar-driven sound
*Highly original and evocative lyrics and harmonies
*The musical love-child of guitarist Steve C. and singer Cat Miller
Cat & Steve (both completely coincidentally from Cleveland, Ohio) met in Nashville in 2001 and immediately discovered an unusually compatible musical bond as writers. Steve is a guitarist with a very personal playing style, while Cat's influences as a singer are eclectic: classical, pop, and singer-songwriter rock.
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.
Johnny Microwave's debut EP features six imaginative, lyrically evocative tracks. Steve's killer guitar ranges from the trippy/bluesy slide work of "The Karaoke Machine Song" to the angular slashing of "When the Mother Ship Comes Down," from the Celtic folk-rock and rootsy crunch of "Too Far Gone" to the psychedelic quirkiness (think Johnny Marr) of "Sew Me Up in a Bubble." Silky vocals weave strong melodies and vibey harmonies through the sonic tapestry.
