“Dex Romweber
was and is a huge influence on my music. I owned all of his records as a
teenager, and was thrilled at the fact that we were able to play together
recently on tour. [He is] is one of the best kept secrets of the rock n roll
underground.”
— Jack White
Dex Romweber Duo (https://www.bloodshotrecords.com/artist/dex-romweber-duo)
is releasing a new album Images 13
on March 18 via Bloodshot Records (pre-order available here). This is the
band’s third release on the label, and first following 2011’s critically
acclaimed Is That You In The Blue?
PopMatters.com announced the
album’s release date and details, and are currently premiering the lead track,
“Roll On.”

For a quarter century, Dex
Romweber has trolled the dark corners and back shelves of the haunted thrift
store of Americana ephemera and honed an extraordinarily idiomatic sound, a
particular and readily identifiable DEXness for those in the know. It’s a creepy
doll collection of surf, proto-rockabilly, garage, dark and vengeful blues, and
nobody, but nobody, plays it like Dex. First with the legendary Flat Duo Jets
and now with his Duo, Dex distilled the punk ethos of less-is-more to the
essential guitar/drums template. Left in the wake of his lecherous and slithery
Silvertone were early acolytes like Jack White, Neko Case, and the Reigning
Sound as well as a current crop of the indie pack like Ty Segall, No Age,
Japandroids, and The Black Keys. All owe an unclaimed pawn ticket of debt to his
sublime and spine-tingling sound. He is a live wire back to the murky, sometimes
dangerous and always unpredictable headwaters of real rock and roll.
Dex, with his whip-wristed
sister Sara Romweber on drums, takes Images 13 through neon-lit alleys, full of
pulp fiction juvey rock, sci-fi theme songs and greasy denim hipster jive.
Recorded at Rick Miller’s (Southern Culture on the Skids) Kudzu Ranch studio in
North Carolina, Images 13 would make everyone from Duane Eddy to Stan Kenton to
Lenny Bruce crack a smile, a joke or the seal on a fifth of rye and head for the
Naugahyde ice bucket.
Dex Romweber Duo have also just
announced a run of tour dates with Reverend Peyton’s Big Damn Band and Dom
Flemons of Carolina Chocolate Drops:
