The Dresden Dolls are a male/female duo from Boston who traffic in cabaret pop-punk. Their second record, Yes, Virginia, will be released on April 18th. Though normally I might find this type of music a bit too "messy" for my tastes, there's something undeniably beguiling about it - even as it always seems to be careening toward tunelessness. Yet, time and again, they manage to pull it back from the brink. Just call it "infectiously vexing." Or "vexingly infectious." Or whatever the hell else you want to call it. Just give it a listen...
[MP3] "My Alcoholic Friends"
[MP3] "Backstabber"
