“I’ve been listening repeatedly to Cinema Hearts’ new EP I Want You.”

“It's the sound of smart musicians trying on the forms of the old days to make something a bit more nuanced and complex than what we had on offer in the early Sixties. And that's a long-winded way of saying, I loved this whole EP.”

“On this Friday night, patrons pack…for a performance by Cinema Hearts, a District band merging girl group melodies with garage rock moxie.”

“Melding ’60s girl-group sounds with surf guitar riffs and pop punk, Cinema Hearts grow bigger by the show, so don’t miss the chance to be able to say you saw them when.”

“this is one of the best rock records of the year”

“Cinema Hearts clearly shows how valuable singer-songwriters are.”

“When she started performing as Cinema Hearts, Caroline Weinroth set out to unite two icons of Americana that seemed impossibly far apart: Miss America and the electric guitar.”

“In five songs with infectiously catchy 50s progressions, the EP narrates the highs and lows of the Miss Virginia experience with a similar blend of high camp and disarming realness.”

“The truth is that I hope Weinroth never stops singing about fabulously trivial things and looking at love through a warped, pop-music lens. Your Ideal is a record that’s cool and clean. In Weinroth’s expert hands it’s a hurricane of a sugar rush.”

“when pageantry becomes pop stardom”

“As a debut single, ‘Your Ideal’ is a clear statement of purpose that perfectly sets the stage for what’s to come from Cinema Hearts.”

“When one thinks of indie pop performers, one does not usually think of beauty pageant contestants. Yet former Miss Virginia contender, Caroline Weinroth is here to shake your world.”

“Your Ideal manages to be that kind of record that's decidedly personal, but in its specificity, it ends up being full of broad appeal. Thankfully, the hooks here are robust in spots. "Your Ideal" punches hard, but every cut here is engaging and smartly rendered and observed.”

“Your Ideal is a tight little EP with each track worthy of note”
