The excellent 'Is It You, Is It Me', is LA-based Dustbowl Revival's 5th studio album over almost 12 years, It reveals the band moving in an exciting new direction. Instead of Dixieland Jazz and Depression-era folk songs, this new collection mines an energizing vein of Soul, Funk and Roots-infused Rock.

The band uses a wide variety of genres and sounds on the album. True to their claim that their music is a “place where folk music, funk and soul meet,” the album also exhibits influence from jazz, pop and Latin music. The lead singers Lupetin and Liz Beebe, whose voices are rich and strong when they sing separately, harmonize for a sound that is plaintive and encouraging. The trumpet and trombone, played by Matt Rubin and Ulf Bjorlin, add a layer of velvety melancholy to most of the songs. Nearly every song relies on the two horn players to enrich the emotional experience and are one of the band’s best strengths.

Like their earlier work, Is It You, Is It Me shows a range of styles that the band incorporates for a cohesive sound, but the album departs from their last album in its preoccupation with complexity and contradiction. This album is more introspective in content, more emotional in mood and more lush in sound. The album is a fresh and energetic collage., with personal favourites including the addictive ‘Enemy’, the endearing ‘Penelope’ and a powerful song about gun control ‘Get Rid of You’.
