"If the delta blues gave birth to yet another slew of gold records why wasn’t anyone dancing?" The question posed in the bio on Revel in Dimes’ website hints that their music aims to get you up on your feet, swaying to dark, textured rhythms. Half of this is true – I did find my feet tapping along to the drum kit, but instead of the grit you might expect, the band’s sound has a smooth quality to it, that doesn’t interfere with its energy and power. Though Revel in Dimes hails from Brooklyn, the percussive elements on "Runnin’" are warm and wispy, reminiscent of a hot summer afternoon somewhere Southern. Catch the heat at their live show at Brooklyn Bowl with The Yeahtones on May 17th. – Geena Kloeppel
