MacMillan,
nationally recognized poet & former vocalist for Caroline/Double
Deuce band Pet Ufo, is riding with the green guitar through the landscape
of Girlville.
The sound embraces the vulnerable,
but often with a Violent Femmes sensibility - it has been compared
to a smoother Ani DiFranco, an edgier Patty Griffin, or an attitude-ridden
Joni Mitchell with a band. In review of the first release, Gimpy,
Worcester Magazine tells of, "acoustic guitars &
violin lines that sway like a wayward kite." Worcester Magazine
also claimed Gimpy as one of the area's top ten releases in 2003,
a mighty feat for a three-track disc.
If
Money Burns, the first full-length release from Daily Mouse,
was recorded with Ron Dumont (Camellia, Rolling Blackouts, Gordon
Gano band) on bass, Emily Packard (Question Cloud, live Violent Femmes
performances) on violin, and also includes co-writing credits from
Nobody's Favorite Records artist, Mark
Mandeville.
