Featuring original members David Johansen and Sylvain Sylvain, the album was recorded in Newcastle, England and produced by Louis XIV's Jason Hill.
Dancing Backward in High Heels is the follow-up to 2009's 'Cause I Sez So, which The New Yorker praises for "[showing] the band at its full power" while Billboard notes that "the unlikely resurrection of the New York Dolls is solidified by ['Cause I Sez So]."
Originally formed in 1971, the New York Dolls are best known for influencing a generation of artists in New York and London who went on to form the first punk rock and heavy metal bands.
Largely influenced themselves by the rock & roll of the Rolling Stones and the Stooges as well as the glam rock made by David Bowie and T. Rex, the legendary original Dolls lineup only recorded two albums, New York Dolls and Too Much Too Soon, before breaking up in 1976.
After reuniting in 2004 (at the behest of Morrissey, the head of the band's U.K. fan club in the '70s), the band went on to record a pair of records - 2006's One Day It Will Please Us to Remember Even This and 2009's 'Cause I Sez So.
