While labeled a Gothic act, Loretta's Doll is unlike any Gothic act I've
heard. True, they use some classic Gothic elements like deep male vocals,
depressing themes, guitars, and a full drum kit, but the comparison stops
there. The band also utilizes vocal samples, electronic drums, keyboards,
sequenced percussion, violins and atmosphere. This five piece act are certainly
masters of using a lack of sound to the greatest effect. They seem to know
exactly when silence, minimalism and subtlety are the most effective. The
overall execution of "Nocturnal Arcade" is utter perfection. Loretta's Doll
rekindles my faith in the Gothic genre with their innovative instrumentation and
concepts, creating a new blend of music that lies in a world of its own.
