' '
,: ôI feel the water/ rising up/ I see the city/ swallowed up.ö So :,
: begins ôWoke Up Weird,ö a dark anthem that serves as the jumping :
:' off point for Dollhouse, the new full-length album from ':
,: VancouverÆs the Pack A.D. :,
: :
:' The garage-rock duo, made up of singer/guitarist Becky Black ':
,: and drummer Maya Miller, recorded this album last summer in :,
: their hometown during one of the worst wildfire seasons in the :
:' cityÆs history. The gloomy, smoke-filled atmosphere, combined ':
,: with the pairÆs anxiety over what they see to be the toxic state :,
: of world politics, sets the scene for many of the songs on :
:' Dollhouse, including its ominous-sounding opener. ':
,: :,
: ôEverything just feels like itÆs sped up so rapidly,ö Miller :
:' says via press release, ôand every day, thereÆs some new shitty ':
,: thing thatÆs making it feel apocalyptic.ö :,
: :
:' Black adds that, while the songs on Dollhouse come off as ':
,: bleak, the pair initially approached this album with an :,
: optimistic outlook. Over the course of recording the nine tracks :
:' though, they were forced to grapple with issues both personal ':
,: and political, using the concept of a dollhouse to describe :,
: their inner struggles. :
:' ':
,: "[The dollhouse is] both a reminder of the closed ecosystem we :,
: all inhabit, the grander scale, and the minuscule confines of :
:' our individual minds, neither of which we can escape from,ö she ':
,: explains. ôThe anxiety of existing is a throughline in the :,
: lyrics on Dollhouse.ö :
:' ':
,: While the album may be a more direct effort at communication :,
: than weÆre used to from the band, musically it also exposes a :
:' softer side of them. The tender, bluesy ôBecause of Youö and ':
,: the delicate, melancholy ôI Triedö show the band writing songs :,
: about seeking out personal connection, and trying rather than :
:' giving up. ':
,: :,
: In the end, itÆs empathy that keeps Dollhouse from being :
:' entirely doom and gloom. ItÆs a fine, but important, ':
,: distinction. :,
: :
:' ôFor me, itÆs less depressing and more commiserating," Miller ':
,: concludes. :,
