Is That You in the Blue?

Dex is nothing less than an icon of the American music underground. Pioneering the template for the stripped to-the-essentials guitar/drums duo format in the world famous psycho-surf-rockabilly-garage-punk combo Flat Duo Jets, Dex forges ahead with this 2011 album. With sister Sara on drums, the DRD is a potent combo that'll get your leg twitching & your heart racing -and sometimes breaking- with the feral excitement of music. In Dex, you have someone who burrows into the guts of American roots music with a uniquely alchemical mania; he's clearly bored with, or oblivious to, genre constraints.
