Jul 28, 2011Is That You in the Blue? is the kind of freewheeling, creative rock record that should make Romweber a key influence on yet another generation.
-
Jul 29, 2011Its versatility is quite dazzling, making it one of the best records in the Romweber catalog.
-
Jul 28, 2011Romweber is still ruler of his own bossa nova rockabilly kingdom, skipping from surf-guitar rave-ups to spacey instrumentals to sepulchral balladry, with the occasional Xavier Cugat cover tossed in.
-
Aug 10, 2011Not intended for the faint of heart, Is That You in the Blue? chides, challenges and relentlessly rocks.
-
Jul 28, 2011Album highlight and instrumental freak-out "Climb Down" even sports frantic rock 'n' roll saxophone that would've fit in nicely on the new Black Lips album. Unfortunately, these lively moments are watered down by a majority of low-key material, verging from enjoyable to listless, which in turn makes Is That You in the Blue? a mixed bag overall.
