By some counts, the number of Centro-matic or related releases is in the hundreds at this point; three EPs, a soundtrack cut and a cassingle were released while you read this - each one a surprise and revelation. But none more so than the album now in your possession: Candidate Waltz, what Will Johnson (songwriter, singer, multi-instrumentalist) calls the band's "meat-and-potatoes pop record."

Centro-Matic are currently on tour opening for Drive By Truckers. Some people call Centro-Matic "the greatest band no ones ever heard of". Will Johnson, lead singer of Centro-Matic was the touring drummer for Monsters of Folk (Jim James, Conor Oberst, M. Ward & Mike Mogis) and is long time collaborator with My Morning Jacket.
