The Dresden Dolls will release their sophomore album, “Yes, Virginia,” April 18 via Roadrunner. It’s the follow-up to their 2004 self-titled debut, though some of the songs here have been waiting in the wings for close to six years.
“I’m an impressionable songwriter, I don’t set things in stone,” head Doll Amanda Palmer tells Billboard.com. “We liked to shape and polish these songs over time.” The 29-year-old pianist/vocalist says she allowed herself “more simplicity” on the album and moved away from the Dolls’ signature cabaret sound.
“As a younger songwriter, I felt the need to over-complicate things to sound more impressive,” she says. “On this one, there’s three-chord songs. And they sound f*cking great.”
