Self-released new album, “Better Days, Better Times”, out on July 18th!
After a hiatus the rock duo of wife and husband team Pete and Christina will unveil the new EP “Better Days, Better Times”.
“This release marks a shift—more collaborators, new instruments, fresh energy running through the tracks. We’ve moved beyond the borders of the last two records, drawn from new experiences, and let the songs grow without constraint. It’s more honest, more personal. Still dark. Still unmistakably Doll. Just with a few more layers in the songs. With this album, we wanted to pull listeners in closer to what’s top of mind to us, our values, our experiences. It’s not just something to hear; it’s something to sit and listen to. It’s less about the volume this time, more about the weight behind the lyrics.” – DOLL
The Ottawa-based quartet, known for their gritty, unfiltered indie sound, last released “The Ragdoll Diaries” in 2011, following their 2009 debut “Inside The Dollhouse”. Their return represents a significant evolution in both sound and approach, incorporating new collaborators and instruments while maintaining the raw, honest edge that has defined Doll since their inception.
The new material showcases a more mature sound while retaining the band’s signature intensity. Core songwriting duo Christina and Pete have expanded their creative process, bringing in local Ottawa musicians and even a cellist to add depth and new textures to their established sound. Doll is recommended for fans of Nobro, SoftCult, Amyl and the Sniffers, and The Pretty Reckless.
