Dot Allison's music is rooted in her delicately haunting vocals and unsparing lyrical eye for sadness, whether on her own records, with One Dove -- a group at the epicenter of the early-'90s indie dance scene -- or with the variety of artists she's collaborated with like Babyshambles and Massive Attack. While her debut solo record, 1999's Afterglow, was a natural, more song-based progression from One Dove's work, those that followed displayed a restless musical vision. 2002's We Are Science nodded toward electroclash, while two albums from the late 2000s delved into Baroque pop and noir balladry, respectively. After taking a break from recording, she returned with Heart-Shaped Scars, a 2021 foray into starkly intimate private-press folk sounds, and 2023's more lushly arranged, slightly less bleak Consciousology, which was paired with a remix album titled Subconsciousology in 2025.
