Dial M For Murder!

by Gregory Heaney Paying tribute to the Chameleons and Joy Division, darkwave revivalists Dial M for Murder! create dark, moody pop. Formed in 2007 by David Ortenlöf and Anders Lantto, the Swedish duo has a haunting and stylish sound, with vintage drum machines and lo-fi atmospherics opening and laying down a foundation for brooding vocal melodies. In 2008, the pair gained some attention in Europe with the release of their 7" single "Oh No!" on Tapete Records. In 2009, their full-length debut, Fiction of Her Dreams, was released on Tapete Records.
