"Their rawness is reminiscent of early work by The Black Keys."
Dudee and Roland Numbers are Texas brothers who crafted this little gem of makeshift rock and blues via the legendary Capitol Studios in LA. The production is sparse and lean, giving this album a streamlined feel. The duo set their vibrant, yet somewhat monotonic sound around sequenced drums that keep the groove in gear. Highlights include: the Lou Reed-like “A Kiss,” the Dylan-esque “Emotional Roller Coaster Ride,” the catchy Thorogood-inspired “I Can’t Help Singing the Blues” and the band’s personal story “Year Round It’s Warm and Sunny.” Their rawness is reminiscent of early work by The Black Keys.
