Cruel Black Dove

Cruel Black Dove’s sound is bold and atmospheric. Anastasia Dimou’s vocals are at once a thick and sonorous weight channeling Siouxsie Sioux, and a serene breath. The music is a soundtrack suited for the desert, hovering between dark new wave and electronic stadium grandeur. Their debut EP, Full Powers, was an intriguing introduction, merging strong soulful vocals with electronic sounds. On The Myth and the Sum, heavy drums and basslines remain, but the sonic drama present in Full Powers has been transformed into dreamy restraint, rich in melody and lyrics.
