We have another cold case on our hands, this one coming from Seattle as it would appear. The Anglo-worshiping
Living Dolls just barely make the leap to the left end of the dial, but if you can look past the "crossover potential," that ostensibly failed to materialize, this record showcases four highly satisfying tunes. The pumped-up synths permeating "Bury the Bottle" lend a new romantic vibe to what is probably the catchiest thing on here, while the remainder of
Parade takes on a more organic essence. Pretty much anywhere the needle drops on
Emotional Parade has me jonesing for the likes of Wire Train, Then Jerico, Ups and Downs, Railway Children, even the Ocean Blue at moments. Indeed, this is
that kind of record and the Living Dolls are
that kind of band - and you're likely to either love 'em or hate 'em. Hopefully there's a lot more of the former among you.
