"What makes (Will Johnson) such a phenomenal lyricist is that he opts for the simplest language when painting an abstract picture." -- Ben Gibbard of Death Cab for Cutie in the New Yo rk Times

"It's unforgettable in a Neil Young or Jeff Tweedy kind of way… As multifarious as the indie rock canon it's practically everything: from the South, in the basement, smoking pot, on the porch, plugging in, plucking soft and clocking out. It's a hootenanny of sweetly weathered proportions, free-wheeling clap-alongs and perfectly boozy balladry - not to mention ass kicking pop songs about rotary wheels and shotgun shells. Love You Just the Same is what a trucker cap would sound like if it could sing. Oh, and play violin." -- Magnet

"HOT LIST! Oct 2003 - Country twang with a pinch of emo, held together by Will Johnson's raspy, searching voice. It's hearty, stick-to-your-ribs fare that makes you proud to be an American." -- Rolling Stone

"These resonant fables of half-loved underdogs, essentially preposterous scenarios reported with apocalyptic seriousness, call to mind the last two Flaming Lips discs... the band hugely rawks here in an unprecedented approximation of their live show, often summoning the moldy hearts of Mould and Hart. Hell, a harnessed Cobain twang even surfaces..." -- Pitchforkmedia.com

It's been more than two years since the release of Centro-matic's Love You Just the Same, and their triumphant return is just around the corner.To whet your appetite, Misra will be releasing Tr iggers and Trash Heaps, the first single from their forthcoming album, Fort Recovery. The single contains the album version of "Triggers and Trash Heaps" plus three B-sides not on the album. These B-sides include a demo version of "Triggers and Trash Heaps" (recorded in a stairwell on a recent European tour), "The Little Guitars" (a re-recording of a song that originally appeared on a Centro-matic cassette (!) in the mid-‘90s) and a demo of Fort.Recovery juggernaut track and album closer "Take a Rake." This is just a taste from Centro- matic's forthcoming masterwork -- we hope it can hold you over until the main course arrives on March 7, 2006.
