Dirt Poor Robins: The Last Days of Leviathan

I want to tell you about some new music that I’ve listened to recently.  I hope we will have a Joint review for you in the next couple of weeks, so let me simply introduce you to them here.

I met Neil and Kate Robins last year up in Newport, RI.  They were doing a concert with Sojourn at Joel Klampert‘s church.  I was really impressed by them then and loved their work with Sojourn.

I happened to see Kate talk about rehearsing for DPR on her facebook last week.  So I asked her what that was.  ”Dirt Poor Robins“, she said.  Ooooh.

A day later Neil got in touch about their new album releasing this Tuesday.  Thanks to Neil I have a pre-release copy and it is really really good!  I’ve just noticed tonight they have a previous album called The Cage that I must pick up!!

Kate and Neil have a sound reminiscent of Queen, Muse and a little Mika (think Grace Kelly) all thrown together.  I love the whole style protrayed for this record and group – check out the photos on their website.

If you like beautiful, haunting vocals, intelligent lyrics and amazing rock guitar, you need to give this duo a listen.
