Armed with a couple of quality demo tapes, Dot found her way to Heavenly
Records. Home to the likes of Monkey Mafia and Beth Orton, Dot's unique
sound fitted perfectly. Her solo album will see her rekindling the ethereal
flame and fusing her influences in what promises to be a debut of esoteric
melancholy wonder. A bonafide singer songwriter who has more in common with
Dusty, Bobbie, Marianne, Emmy-Lou and Carole than any of the dozens of
faceless club dollies who sing over a pulsing dance beat, Dot's album will
be a soulful, perfectly created gem of a record; bursting with heartache and
bittersweet savvy. Collaborating with Dot on this venture is 60's
songwriting genius and long-time hero Hal David (their co-written track 'Did
I Imagine You?' is everything you could hope for and more), Death In Vegas
ace face Richard Fearless and producer Magnus Fiennes.
1998, while everyone aches for something new to rescue them from the
monotony of re-hashed musical styles, Dot Allison's music will creep up and
silently pull you into a world where every heartache is a melody. A place
where Patsy Cline sings on a smoky stage with a strung-out Velvet
Underground; where fragile, beautiful music can lift you from the blackest
mood to dizzy ecstasy and right back down again in the space of a breathless
sigh. Dot lives in a world of love and loss, hope, happiness and dreams.
You're very welcome to join her.
