Texas’ Dexter and The Moonrocks have described their swaggering amalgam of country and hard rock as “Western space grunge”, and their breakthrough track “Freakin’ Out” offers one example of that style: Opening in a starlit landscape, the song eventually reaches heavier territory, fingerpicked acoustic guitar making way for plugged-in riffs as lead singer James Tuffs’ recollections of anxiety reach a fever pitch. Their first proper full-length further lays out the parameters of Dexter and The Moonrocks’ singular style: Harder-edged cuts like “Mull It Over” and “It’s a Lot” match churning riffs with instantly memorable choruses, while offerings like “12 Steps”, a collaboration with Treaty Oak Revival, show off their twangier side.
