The buzz on Electric Rhymes . . .

 

"Now this is a find!  Austin music lovers ask me all the time, 'What are you listening to?' , and I always say, 'The Dime Store Poets.'  From the first time I saw them live and now with Electric Rhymes, The Dime Store Poets' music is like a friendly visit. Touching on things we all know about, while reminding us not to forget how important they are!  In this age of hype, The Dime Store Poets' honesty is becoming.  Look for the neon cover, listen to the music, and enjoy!"

"The first track, Every Day of My Life, is a perfect radio-ready opener, strutting with confidence and style, and demands the listener stick around for deeper tracks. The good news: the Poets reward. I dig the Phil Spector/Beatlesque treatment on Chocolate Candy Days and Fade Away.  And the Roy Orbison feel of Stained Glass Window. But these comparisons fail to capture the fact that with this album, The Dime Store Poets have caught a groove and carved out a multi-faceted identity that's gonna please audiences of many tastes. The licks, harmonies, and production are fetching."
