After meeting at a Halloween party in 2000 and doing some live performances, The Dresden Dolls released they’re self titled debut album. The duo describe they’re music as Brechtian Punk Cabaret, but it is generally considered as Dark Cabaret.
Stylistically, the actual cabaret sensation is very notorious in the record; it is always present yet always mixed around depending on the song, with either Alternative Rock, Punk or Pop. The album boasts a good sense of humor but what I really extol is the diversity in they’re melodies which makes it an adventurous ride where it’s not easy to predict how the song is going to end. There are a lot of things going on but what is undisputable are the tracks catchiness and feminine attributes mixed with a very direct and playful mockery of social and political hypocrisies, all blended cohesively with lead singer Amanda Palmer’s broody, dark and deep vocals.
