Music reviews of Yes, Virginia...
Music Review: How did I miss this?
Rating: 5 Stars
'06 was the year I was getting into any weird indie and alternative rock. I had heard of the Dresden Dolls but whenever someone would describe them to me it always came back to "cabaret rock" or "a guy and a girl in makeup". So I just always put them away in my mind. The Dresden Dolls seem very comfortable musically in that they know what they want to do but never stop pushing what they are able to do. The drummer was obviously born to play the drums and I read somewhere that he gave a lecture at Harvard Music. When listening to the singer I feel an honesty that holds true through every song and she can also play piano better than Regina Spektor, Nicole Atkins or most other female musicians in the genre. Not that I don't love Nicole and Regina, just giving credit where credit is due.
The one problem I do have with this band is the whole "cabaret rock" thing. I think it's a neat concept but if you hadn't seen the band live or seen pictures of them you would never get a "broadway indie rock" feel from them. Even Amazon classifies it under Broadway/Musical. To me it's more Indie rock with a Cabaret themed live show.
Description of Yes, Virginia...
It's hard to resist a singer who fully indulges her sexual obsessions on CD, especially when they involve songs about transsexuals and--to paraphrase a bit--girls who leave out used condoms on their bedroom dressers to make their boyfriends jealous. And that's just Amanda Palmer in her tamer moments. As the mouthpiece for the carnival-like Dresden Dolls, she certainly knows how to scintillate. The Boston cabaret-punk duo's second album is a no-holds-barred affair that sees her singing about Nazi sympathizers ("Mrs. O") and bedroom antics ("First Orgasm") with equal zest, while the music she bangs out with drummer Brian Viglione fits the very definition of perverse. For some, it's the soundtrack to a kabuki-faced nightmare; for others, the stuff of strangely captivating dreams. --Aidin VaziriGeneral CDs
