DESCRIPTION

EDITORIAL REVIEWS
With their preternatural ability to play with and play off of one another, Dex Romweber (Flat Duo Jets) and his sister Sara (Let's Active, Snatches of Pink) lay it out there with nothing to cover it up. And while many mistake 'stripped down' for 'easy' or 'simple' it takes a fearless mastery to pull the tortured blues out of the delta, the punk thunder out of rockabilly, and the deep, dark and glorious pathos out of cabaret. "Mixes and matches swampy Sun rockabilly, tom-tom surf instrumentals, dreamy doo-wop ballads, jangly country and cabaret from the boulevard of broken dreams." - WINNIPEG SUN

REVIEW
The dynamic Dexter keeps the careening, untamed spirit of early rock 'n' roll alive by not taking anything too seriously. --Spin

Dex Romweber has got to be the last of the great American singers. [he] is cooler than Elvis. --Rochester City Paper

Move over White Stripes. They may not be the most famous male-female roots rock duo in the world, but Dex Romweber and his sister Sara were pounding out stripped down blues and manic rockabilly when Jack and Meg were in middle school. --PopMatters

This comeback packs a punch that cannot be ignored [and] an authenticity that reveals why so many admirers credit Romweber as an essential influence. --Soundstage.com

It has all the telepathy you'd expect from a family affair, locking Sara's runaway-train drums in a race to the finish with Dex's rampaging guitar. Naturally, it's a photo finish. Dex sounds real, real gone as always, singing in a rockabilly-vampire voice perfect for late-night horror movies. It lands somewhere between a growl and a cackle, sharp-edged and feral. --No Depression
