“Without posing, Cruel Black Dove has been cooking up its own brand of dark (and immensely sexy) electronic art rock since the beginning of last summer. A Brooklyn-based outfit, vocalist Anastasia Dimou, guitarist/ producer Alan Veucasovic, bassist Shirley Ho and drummer Jonathan Nanberg are more focused on joining the ranks of their favorite artists with their stand-out sound that touches on the richness of England from the mid to late-90s with a modern polish and energy. Anastasia’s resonant vocals and lyrics combine with the band’s luxuriously weighty sound to produce a powerful live show, and songs more likely to land them on multiple “Best” lists than in the local used bin.”
... well crafted and perfectly produced... one of those rare moments we find a diamond... some of the most polished tracks from an unsigned band that we've heard this year... one of Brooklyn's best kept musical secrets.

... PJ Harvey if Kevin Shields and Massive Attack were the backing band, having consulted Trent Reznor on the backbeat.

...sex, spite, angst, hurt and revolution.

... a buzz-worthy female-fronted electronic rock outfit who set the stage on fire with their blend of passionate, hard hitting Lynch-esque music. Comparisons to PJ Harvey, Curve, and Depeche Mode aren't inappropriate, but Cruel Black Dove is still a force of their own, full to the brim with infectious sound and fury. Slinking back and forth in perfect rhythm, adding to the mood with ominous red lighting, fuzzed out bass, and a knack for on-stage exorcism, part Nick Cave, part Patti Smith, and all unpredictable ferocity. I was floored.

... dark and electronic-tinged big rock sound, with complimentary light show, provided quite a spectacle... singer Anastasia Dimou has an impressive stage presence and vocal ability that meshes well with the skilled playing of her bandmates...
(StereoactiveNYC)
... a uniquely hypnotic sound characterized by an eerie, electro backdrop accompanied by strangely soulful vocals... with influences ranging from Morrissey to Bjork, the band’s peculiar sounds come together as a brilliantly rhythmic mixture of industrial, disco and indie rock.
