Black Dresses

When i was in high school, i got way, way into industrial music.  And thanks to bands like Nine Inch Nails and Ministry, i searched and listened to all manner of artist that made music in a similar vein, be it the Wax Trax back catalog, originators like Throbbing Gristle, plenty of German stuff, and the unifyingly awful run of mid-'90s torch carriers.  Then the style seemed to subside for a while, only to keep popping up more and more of late.  And i dig this new run of bands and artists, from the traditional to the strange.  Somewhere in the middle of those two descriptors lies Toronto duo Black Dresses, and their scorching, sneering debut "WASTEISOLATION."  It's noisy and abrasive with occasional grooves and a distinct feminine voice that hits all the doom and gloom notes in just the right way.  Listen to "Wiggle" below and get the album from band here.
