Cruel Black Dove: Love Song [mp3 RCRD LBL]
Brooklyn based outfit Cruel Black Dove has been making its own brand of dark electronic rock since 2007. Before coming together, Cruel Black Dove was seen mostly as an "experiment" when it started as a recording project in Los Angeles.
Cruel Black Dove blends varied inspiration — a penchant for crisp production and heavy sounds, a love for dramatic vocals and intense performances, an art school obsession with the swagger and pomp of glam rock, and a passion for pounding acoustic drums mixed with electronic percussion. The result is a luxurious sound rich with dark energy and drive. Full Powers is Cruel Black Dove’s self-released debut.
I really hate this band. No argument that they are talented, but I see none of the the “crisp” production you refer to. I see only overproduction. The band is trying so hard to come across as dark and sultry that its almost cartoonish – “look at us we’re brooding and complex but pretty.” All the close-ups and breathy singing. Its too slick a production. It’s audio porn, but for those people who like their porn without any with flowers and candy.
