'The Dresden Dolls' - The Dresden Dolls

Punk rock with pianos! Kind of like a Weimar Cabaret White Stripes with the genders switched. 'Cabaret' re-scored by Polly Harvey. The Kurt Weill style instrumentation lends an air of sinster glamour, but it still seems contemporary rather than gimmicky. They describe themselves as 'Brechtian Punk Cabaret' which could potentially seem a bit arch, but they pull it off superbly.

Smart Tracks: 'Girl Anachronism', 'Coin Operated Boy'
