Weightless
Seattle's Doll Factory are somewhat displaced from Reznor's dour-obsessed denizens and instead seem more infuenced by Chemlab or Sister Machine Gun's ingenuity, if not their musical schematics. 'We Are The Hollow Men' and 'Bite The Coil' build themselves into stomp-anthems around their complex drum and bass patterns (as opposed to drum 'n' bass patterns), while 'Tin Girl-Tin Love' introduces an electro-clash-ish edge to the album. 'Permanent' gives Doll Factory the opportunity of expressing the influence of the mighty Mode with its morally magnanimous lyrics, whilst the beguiling 'Shapeshifter' cuts like a knife...their 'Weightless' debut burns with a righteous energy that almost consumes those that hear it. ~ Rock Sound, Issue 46

Weightless by Doll Factory
You need to hear this CD over and over because it will mean more to you each time you listen to the music of Chris and Garrick. Ergo, a purchase must be involved if you care to have this belong to you instead of the greedy Gordon Geckos in the "music" industry. (I hope you're too young to remember the quote from "Wall Street" : "Greed is good".) Chris Roy and Garrick Antikajian would be pretty pleased if you should happen to be intrigued enough by their musical interpretations to purchase it and make it your very own. Believe me, you will never be sorry.

Astute, intense electro rock
Somewhere in rainy Seattle, there's a groove on, a post-punk electronica groove. Doll Factory's full length debut combines diverse elements to deliver a disk with a nice combination of pop sensibility, musical freshness, and astute cultural observation. Duo Garrick Antikajian and Chris Roy weave guitar-influenced, industrial rock with creative electronics to create a sound that nods to Nine Inch Nails and Prodigy, but is a tad lighter in execution and uniquely their own. The disk opens with a string arrangement intro to 'We are the Hollow Men', a sit-up-and-notice track that segues into the irrepressibly spunky yet strangely haunting dance track 'Tin Girl-Tin Love' and onward through eleven more infectious, well-crafted pieces of eyes-wide-open post-modernism that you can still bounce to. Refreshingly, Roy and Antikajian have the confidence to reveal their individual personalities within the context of the band. Both sing and write, with Roy's compositions, such as the hard-rock flavored 'Permanent' and the sinister yet romantic ballad 'Blessed', tending towards a more traditional sound, while Antikajian's compositions offer playful percussive experiments and drip with irony. Gems include 'Blank Dirge', a song that is anything but, with layers of percussion, keyboard and sample building with controlled intensity, and 'Stand and Fight', a jointly-written hard-edged confrontational tune that walks a challenging lyrical line. The production, lyrics, and maturity of this album are remarkable in a debut offering, a trait owing to the years that Antikajian and Roy spent paying their dues in other projects. And, for a bonus, the disk ends with an inspired version of the Britney Spears vehicle 'Baby One More Time', a darker, surprisingly edgy interpretation that also gives us a subtle commentary on the commercialization of our innermost desires. The only thing weightless here seems to be the title. Somewhere, a factory produces dolls. Antikajian and Roy noticed, and so must we. ~ The Sentimentalist, Volume III Issue X, Winter/Spring 2003
