Hazy, dreamy.
Dot Allison's first adventures within the music scene were during the early 1990s when she fronted Scottish dance group One Dove. Since then, Dot has worked on a variety of solo projects, including collaborations with a diversity of acts such as Arab Strap, Babyshambles, Slam and Massive Attack. Much of Dot Allison's solo work is placed in the trip hop genre but 'Thief Of Love' rests firmly in on the folk/indie side of singer-songwriter output.
'Thief Of Love' is a dreamy affair, three and a half minutes exactly of swimming through guitars that shimmer every time they're plucked and gentle vocals that invite the listener to take a trio through the ether. A perfect soundtrack to contemplative moments at sunset, Dot Allison pulls the listener into a fairyland of hazy, otherworldly sound waves.
First b-side, 'In Deep Water' continues the celestial mood whilst adding more folk elements to the mix; whilst 'Tall Flowers' is a stripped down piece that is sadly more forgettable than the other tracks present but nonetheless proves that Dot Allison can carry her gossamer style to a slower and sparser place.
