"Guitarist, singer, and composer, Eric Johanson, has traveled far from his tenure as a hot-handed young Stevie Ray Vaughan wannabe on Memphis' Beale St. Based now for several years in New Orleans... Johanson conceived Cire, a project that references the likes of A Perfect Circle with its ambitious arrangements, shards of driving, metallic guitar, industrial breaks, and lyrics culled from the psyche's shadowy corners." - Times Picayune, New Orleans
