Dex Romweber Duo,' Ruins of Berlin' (Bloodshot)

Still volatile rocker cranks up Southern-fried time machine.

First in Flat Duo Jets, and now with nimble sis Sara Romweber (ex–Let's Active) on drums, the dynamic Dexter keeps the careening, untamed spirit of early rock'n'roll alive by not taking anything too seriously. Ruins of Berlin aims to raise his profile by featuring tender duets with Cat Power ("Love Letters") and Neko Case ("Still Around"). But it's fevered outbursts like "Lookout" and "Grey Skies," where Dex unleashes his slightly sloshed voice and surfabilly guitar, that have real soul-saving potential.

Exquisite expansive simplicity from the master custodian of the evolving old soul post-modern guitar jungle...delightful madness! Lo & behold the tribal community in cahoots with the witch doctor. The family multiplies in the mausoleum! Now they've broken down the cemetary gates, emptying graveyards globally and liberating all ghosts encountered.- Brother Wayword-Mole Hill Mountain
