Singer-songwriter Jimm McIver's new concept album "Sweet Petunia Modern
and the Holograms of Düm" is the eagerly awaited follow-up to his debut
recording, "Polaroid Angel." "Sweet Petunia" takes an even sharper turn
toward his British influences, blending the lush slyness of the
Beatles' Sergeant Pepper with the loopy range of Queen's A Night at the Opera.
When "Polaroid Angel" was released, Gary Glauber of popmatters.com
wrote, "What's most evident is the man's undeniable talent -- he crafts
intelligent songs that draw on any number of solid musical references
and makes the results stand out. This music stands up well to repeated
listens. In fact, that's when the real charm manages to make itself
known." The same can confidently be said about "Sweet Petunia Modern
and
the Holograms of Düm."
