Dirt Poor Robins is an eclectic and theatrical American rock band known for their ambitious concept albums and cinematic soundscapes. Formed in the mid-2000s, the band consists of husband and wife duo Neil and Kate DeGraide, who serve as the primary songwriters and the core of the project. They are applauded for their ability to blend elements of rock, classical music, and various other genres into a cohesive and storytelling-driven auditory experience.

With a strong penchant for grandiose storytelling, Dirt Poor Robins have crafted a discography that can best be described as a series of musical novellas, often constructed as multi-part releases. Some of their most notable works include "The Raven Locks" and the ambitious "Queen of the Night" series, which showcases the band’s ability to deploy operatic vocals, stirring instrumentals, and an overarching narrative within their music. "Dead Horse, Alaska" further exemplifies this narrative-oriented approach, presented in various iterations such as the "Gold" and "Onyx" releases, offering listeners alternative ways to experience the album's thematic journey. As they continue to push the envelope of theatrical rock, Dirt Poor Robins remain a cherished gem for those who seek a profound sonic adventure that weaves intricate storytelling with emotionally charged melodies.
