Cruel Black Dove - The Myth and the Sum


  1. Forgotten Place
  2. Isolation
  3. The Myth and the Sum
  4. Raking Water
  5. Tied to the Pavement
The indie electronic rock quartet Cruel Black Dove originally came to my information through Bell Hollow's "Foxgloves Extras" digital release previously featured on this blog. Cruel Black Dove's remix of Bell Hollow's song Lowlights was dark yet beautiful, a good representation of Cruel Black Dove's sound in general.

Cruel Black Dove's latest EP, "The Myth and the Sum," shows a lot of promise for the band. Their sound is dark but extremely warm and organic, featuring none of the sterility and coldness of many dark indie bands. The songs are punctuated with complex beats, eerie melodies and the absolutely ethereal singing.

This is dark pop music at its most beautiful. The EP is available as both a digital release and as a physical album.
