The Dresden Dolls is a Indie rock and Rap act. Their sound grew out of In the Flesh?, Neutral Milk Hotel, Depeche Mode, Brian Eno and The Fall.

They run in the same orbit as Amanda Palmer, Will Wood and the Tapeworms, The Real Tuesday Weld, Sarah and the Safe Word and Voltaire, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Cazwell, Chaos Chaos, Princess Chelsea and Gossip, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation.
