"They say that imitation is the best form of flattery, and France"s Soror Dolorosa, in choosing to name their sophomore record after a Stranglers album (due to a badge depicting the album appearing on a jacket used for the cover art) manage to wear their hearts on their leather sleeves and show exactly what they"re about in one fell swoop. Their cold, gothic sound is one we"ve all heard before, albeit some twenty or thirty years ago, but this quartet are taking 70s rock and 80s goth back and injecting it with some twenty-first century class and gorgeous French beauty.
