A smooth sailing, easy to digest debut from this Los Angeles duo and power couple.

“There’s something fundamentally romantic about every song on the album. It’s like a very musical embrace of one another, you know, if you can stomach thirty-six minutes of that.” There is a reason why Johnathan Rice - half of Jenny and Johnny and a solo musician in his own right - says that I’m Having Fun Now is a romantic record, and it has a lot to do with the other half: none other than Rice’s long-term girlfriend Jenny Lewis . Also a solo star before creating Jenny and Johnny, Lewis [...]
JENNY & JOHNNYSo as it turns out, that whiny voice behind Bright Eyes, is a bit of a cupid. Apparently, this adorably indie couple that makes delicious music was introduced to one another by Connor Oberst. If you haven't put it together yet, that is the lead singer of Bright Eyes. Now, if you are listening to Jenny & Johnny as you read this, you might be thinking to yourself this sounds like a

Además de ser parte fundamental de Rilo Kiley y tener una carrera en solitario que ya cuenta con dos álbumes, Jenny Lewis también ha contribuido con diversos proyectos musicales, entre ellos el de su novio Johnathan Rice , con quien colaboró en su álbum del 2007, Further North , y quien a su vez a sido un colaborador constante en los discos de la cantante. Ahora la pareja ha decidido que esa colaboración no era suficiente y se han armado un nuevo proyecto bajo el nombre de Jenny and Johnny , [...]

The Jenny and Johnny site is up and running now and it is awful busy with tour dates, a brief history of the band, a free download, and a note protesting Arizona's immigration law. Let's skip most of that and get to the music. "Scissor Runner" is in fact an effervescent rock song that trades on Jenny Lewis' and Johnathan Rice's appeal (individual and collective), all the while resisting easy comparison. For all the yearning for Rilo Kiley's reunion and return to their early sound, Jenny Lewis does quite well on her own. Her apparently limitless capacity to [...]

My Pet Snakes Scissor Runner Big Wave It's hard to endorse a perfect duo such as Jenny Lewis & Jonathan Rice. Especially when you're in love with Jenny Lewis. I've had a big crush on her, she's an indie rock darling, she's cute, she makes great music, and unfortunately she's taken. Sigh. Regardless of how I feel about her, its her music that is truly important here. What appears on this album is a connection of two energies, that creates a lot of fun [...]
