And once again, that&#8217;s a good thing. They\u00a0have\u00a0a dark edge to them that is\u00a0achieved\u00a0at the musical level, not simply by singing dark lyrics over lurking music. The music itself \u00a0twists off\u00a0the\u00a0cabaret ledge, sometimes hanging on by its fingernails before managing to crawl back up again. Which i like. They&#8217;ve got something going on. They play in Los Angeles, and have a new album out, The Bad Beginning.<\/p>\n<p>To check their album out on CDBaby go <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cdbaby.com\/cd\/harlequinjones2\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fiona Apple meets The Dresden Dolls.
