Cruel Black Dove is another one of those bands that has taken a little while to catch on for me. I laugh, because they're also another band that would have been one of my absolute favourites had they existed back in my high school days (along with The Birthday Massacre).

They're a little dark & gothy, without being too gothy. Best of all, her singing reminds me a little of my beloved Polly Jean Harvey, who sang much of my high school soundtrack. What's with me finding singers that remind me of other singers and me being ok with that?? Weird.

In any case, Cruel Black dove is moody, broody, a little heavy, very vocal and pretty darn cool. I've also read that she's good at pulling off the vocals live, so I wouldn't mind seeing them (maybe paired with IAMX - they've played shows together recently, so it could happen!!).

Happy Weekend!

This week's video is a bit different, in that it's actually a promotional video for Jean Paul Gaultier's latest perfume. Pretty weird, but pretty wicked. I have to admit - I don't know Martin Solveig (although I'm going to check some of his other stuff out now) and mostly got into this clip because of Dragonette. The song is fun, the video is fun - yay!
