The Priory Dolls : Get Your Dark Wizard On

Melbourne’s Priory Dolls – goon-drinkers, couch-crashers, garden variety hipsters

Melbourne’s Priory Dolls – goon-drinkers, couch-crashers, garden variety hipsters – compare themselves to Leonard Cohen and Elliot Smith, in their quieter moments, and a thousand bears fighting a thousand robots, in their louder moments. Get Your Dark Wizard On is probably half way between; a twitchy, neurotic collision of guitar squall and funereal drums, with a raw, screamo climax. It’s like one robot kitten attacking a toaster, if, at the end, the kitten gets fried.
