Dolores Haze, you will remember, is the real name of the 12-year-old girl at the centre of Nabokov’s Lolita. At the centre of the room-spinning stupor these four Swedish women induce with guitar, drums and gutteral howls, there’s a similar mesh of innocence and experience to be found. This is the young band, after all, who describe their style as “goth sex, diva couture,” while sounding like they still kick out the jams in their parents’ garages.
